Ebuild Maintenance War Stories?
Turns out someone already made an issue about this upstream, and even made a working ebuild, although it was published to his/her overlay which is not listed on overlays.gentoo.org yet sadly. If you're curious what was wrong and how it was fixed: the github issue

Best option for Raspberry Pi 4 Music Streaming Server?
If it's just for music and you dig the look of TUI apps then musikcube has built-in server functionality. You install it on both the server and clients but keep the library on the server. It's light and works well, including for giant collections. There's apparently an android app too, musikdroid, but I haven't tried it. I haven't tried the windows or mac client apps either, so I can't vouch for any of them, but it's great on linux.

Cmus vs. Musikcube
VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management.
