I'll answer myself...
kde-3.2 was hard-coded depended in cdparanoia,
while kde-3.3 has a new USE word cdparanoia.
Because I didn't have the 'cdparanoia' USE word turned on I didn't get
audiocd.

I think that it would have been nice if 'emerge -p kdemultimedia' told me that
there is a new USE word.

To see the available use flags for a package, use the -v option, e.g.

# emerge -pv kdemultimedia

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.3.1 [3.3.0] +alsa -arts
+audiofile +cdparanoia -debug +encode +flac +oggvorbis +speex +xine

I know that.
But when you are upgrading the package you don't getwarned that a new USE word
was added. In this case cdparanoia

You do with portage 2.0.51. Any new or changed USE flags are marked with
a * when you use -v.

Thank you very much-- I've been wondering what that asterisk signified
for a good week now. I had guessed that it maybe meant user-configurable
flags (rather than ones set by default in the ebuild), but I'm glad to
know the truth, even though it means I guessed wrong and I normally hate
that ;-) .

There's also the new --newuse option for emerge, to remerge any packages
for which the use flags have changed.
