From a quick google for "KDE4_DISABLE_MULTIMEDIA" it looks like that just enables / disables Phonon: • http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-buildsystem/2010-March/006806.html • http://www.filewatcher.com/p/kdebase-runtime-4.1.3.tar.bz2.52251161/kdebase-runtime-4.1.3/phonon/CMakeLists.txt.html I have to confess, I don't follow desktop development to know myself what "Phonon" means. The page linked to in the package description for media-libs/phonon is, unsurprisingly, uninformative: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/phonon Stroller.
