Situation: I have ffmpeg on my netbook, emerged without the "sdl" USE
flag. I've run into a scenario where I want it emerged with sdl. The
usual response is to to add the "sdl" USE flag (either in make.conf or
in package.use) and simply "emerge ffmpeg" again. But...

(media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.3::gentoo, installed) pulled in by

I said "screw it" (or words to that effect<G>), unmerged ffmpeg, and
re-emerged it. The emerge is running as I type.

Weirdness when emerging ffmpeg
I am coming across this more often lately - last was curl with openssl
or nss - anoying!
Try removing ffmpeg and then re-emerging it. It will usually complain
about some other package with use flag problems so remove that too
[rinse and repeat as neccessary] until eventually it works and puts back
the chain of packages you have just removed ...

I don't know why, but there were indeed ffmpeg 0.10.2 and 0.10.3
versions installed. Doing...
emerge --unmerge ffmpeg
emerge ffmpeg
...uninstalled the 0.10.3 version and re-installed it, which is not what
I wanted. What I had to do was...
