Any ideas?
I'll walk you through this the long way round: This is the clue: "libFLAC.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file" I also have no such file as libFLAC.so.7, but locate libFLAC.so found libFLAC.so.8, and 'equery belongs' tells me it belongs to media-libs/flac. 'genlop -t' declares this package was upgraded on my box from 1.1.2-r8 to 1.1.4 on 17 July. So obviously playsound was built against the old version, and revdep-rebuild can't find the old one so doesn't know what to do about it. And wisely does nothing about it... emerge flac revdep-rebuild -X will see you right. -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
