Description

With the mix-in `mediaformat-audio-extra` (that also includes `mediaformat-audio-common`) enabled, the configure step for `ffmpeg` fails with an error about missing `libgsm`. Installing `media-video/gsm` solves the problem.

Research direction

Start at the ffmpeg package definition and inspect how the USE=gsm option declares its dependencies, then reproduce the configure failure with the mediaformat-audio-extra mix-in enabled. Done means the package depends on media-sound/gsm and the configure step no longer reports missing libgsm.
