I merged/tested parole twice with USE="-clutter" and USE="clutter"

In both cases I had no problem starting parole as a regular user.
The most annoying problem with parole was the screen went black when the video was paused.

No playback speed control,few keyboard shortcuts is a problem with every gstreamer player I've tested.

I have an avi with ac3 2 channel stereo audio that only played out of the right speaker.

I could hear sound effects but no voices,the same file played in mplayer or vlc played audio in both channels.

Gstreamer was using the VA-API which wouldn't play a video-dvd using an amd/ati radeon 5450 with radeon/mesa.

I had to switch my driver over to proprietary fglrx (x11-drivers/ati-drivers) for video-dvd.

Video-dvd menu navigation is pretty good using either mouse or right click menu to jump to chapters.

Mplayer based players are my favorite.
