| 5 My favourite music player app on Linux is [Exaile](http://www.exaile.org/). On [Gentoo](http://www.gentoo.org) it's available straight from portage but getting playback working for different audio formats its not quite straightforward. | |

| 7 Exaile depends on [gstreamer](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) - albeit not on the latest version but on the 0.10 version line. Since Gentoo supports slotted gstreamer installs you have to remember to add the `:0.10` slot definition when fiddling with the gstreamer ebuilds. In order to change the gstreamer plugins that are installed, take a look on the use flags of `media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta:0.10`: | |
