+     If you use Gentoo you need to be careful because GStreamer 0.10 is in
+     a different lower slot than 1.0, the default. Your emerge commands will
+     need to include the slot::
+
+         emerge -av gst-python gst-plugins-bad:0.10 gst-plugins-good:0.10 \
+             gst-plugins-ugly:0.10 gst-plugins-meta:0.10
+
+     gst-plugins-meta:0.10 is the one that actually pulls in the plugins
+     you want, so pay attention to the use flags, e.g. ``alsa``, ``mp3``, etc.

 #. Optional: If you want Spotify support in Mopidy, you'll need to install
    libspotify and the Python bindings, pyspotify.
