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!
