audio-* sound better.
graphics-* sounds better, if I suggested gfx it was just it's how we
have it now in media-gfx (I never liked that either).

I also think that media-* can stay. So, something like this would be
closer, I guess.

graphics-viewers
graphics-editors
graphics-plugins
graphics-libs
audio-players (and maybe sound-radio)
audio-editors
audio-plugins
audio-libs
media-players (and, maybe, only maybe video-tv)
media-editors
media-plugins
media-libs

As I said above, some libraries might not be easy to fit in a single
category, so it might be necessary to just keep all of them under
media-libs. I am not sure. What I'd really love would be to get a
mechanism into portage so that a package can be in many categories at
the same time because, well, is gwenview a viewer or an editor? Is
kaffeine a media-player or a tv receiver? Is ffmpeg a media-lib, a
sound-editor or a sound-lib? You get the idea.

Roughly, one way to achieve this could be by using symlinks along with
virtuals, but that's another entirely different thing.
