rdf, but yeah, caps doesn't have one of those.

it Just Works for me.

btw, for a lot of audio stuff, I use the "unstable" packages.
I find that the more I care about something, the more likely I am to
emerge it with an unstable keyword :-)
For example, since I run on an x86 platform, I have these lines in
/etc/portage/package.keywords:

media-plugins/caps-plugins ~x86
media-plugins/swh-plugins ~x86
media-plugins/blop ~x86
media-plugins/fil-plugins ~x86
media-plugins/mcp-plugins ~x86
media-plugins/rev-plugins ~x86
media-plugins/tap-plugins ~x86

So, when I emerge caps-plugins, I get version 0.3.0 instead of the
"stable" 0.2.1.

And for swh-plugins, I get version 0.4.14 instead of the "stable"
0.4.11.

Try running "listplugins" and see what it says.
I get all these plugins from that one .so:
