  They're streaming services like Youtube, and they're both completely
Flash-dependant.

  The decision has been made for me, or let's say I made it back in May
when I installed pure-64-bit.  I attempted "emerge -pv nspluginwrapper",
and found that nspluginwrapper requires multi-lib support on amd64
installs... oops.  So gnash it is.  After my abortive nsplugin emerge, I
did some research.  It seems that gnash doesn't do sound by itself.  It
requires the "gstreamer" flag for audio functionality.  That flag pulls
in "gstreamer and friends".  I run with custom flags in make.conf.  Any
comments on my choice of flags?  Do I need additional ebuilds loaded as
well?  Is it supposed to pull in 2 versions of media-libs/gstreamer?

Calculating dependencies... done!
