revdep-rebuild doesn't work like that.
If a binary is dynamically linked to a library that doesn't exist anymore, the 
package owning the binary is rebuilt, as portage is unlikely to know what 
package supplied a file that doesn't exist. The idea being the package will 
find and link against libraries that do exist.

In this case it would seem that revdep-rebuild should be trying to emerge:
media-libs/sdl-sound
media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac
media-plugins/gst-plugins-oss
media-libs/akode
