The new kaffeine is a calamity for me (I cannot get phonon to work with
jackd from inside fvwm, and the new interface doesn't have the half of
the functions from the old one), so I still have qt3 inside my system.

I get a lot of errors wehn trying to merge fmit :

....
 * USE:  alsa amd64 elibc_glibc jack kernel_linux multilib userland_GNU
 * Please fix your package (media-sound/fmit-0.97.6) to not use

`jack_error_callback' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [fmit] Error 1

So, fmit is not compatible with recent versions of jack2, it is into
the TODO list of the last fmit version, but nothing about QT4.
I try to compile the last version by hand and get other error as well.
It look like it is also not compatible with recent gcc versions.

I think it must be masked, if not removed.

Ciao,
Dominique
