It's not hardmasked for amd64, it is hardmasked in general.
See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194437
The arguments for masking are a bit stupid though.. ardour wouldn't let
you import flac, even if the internal sndfile _could_ be compiled with
flac, etc.

Simply unmask it, it works fine here. And with the ebuild in
the overlay you have the choice if syslibs or not.
