  • bcg729 - Use media-libs/bcg729 for G.729 codec support in RTP Player
  • brotli - Use app-arch/brotli for compression/decompression
  • capinfos - Install capinfos, to print information about capture files
  • captype - Install captype, to print the file types of capture files
  • ciscodump - Install ciscodump, extcap interface to capture from a remote Cisco router

  • opus - Enable Opus audio codec support
  • pcap - Use net-libs/libpcap for network packet capturing (build dumpcap, rawshark)
  • plugins - Install plugins
  • qt5 - Add support for the Qt 5 application and UI framework
  • qt6 - Build with Qt6 support instead of the default Qt5 for GUI support
  • randpkt - Install randpkt, a utility for creating pcap trace files full of random packets
