Build died with: checking for ALSA... configure: error: Package requirements (alsa >= 1.0) were not met: No package 'alsa' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALSA_CFLAGS and ALSA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. System in question is a server and I don't have any sound hardware and I don't have alsa USE flag enabled. depgraph of why the package is getting pulled in: [nomerge ] gnome-base/gnome-2.22.2 [2.20.3] USE="-accessibility -cdr -cups -dvdr -esd -ldap -mono" [ebuild U ] x11-libs/vte-0.16.14 [0.16.13] USE="-debug -doc opengl python" 0 kB [ebuild U ] gnome-base/gnome-menus-2.22.2 [2.20.3] USE="-debug python" 0 kB [ebuild U ] dev-python/pygtk-2.12.1-r2 [2.12.0] USE="X%* -doc -examples (-opengl%*)" 0 kB [ebuild U ] gnome-extra/gcalctool-5.22.3 [5.20.2] USE="-debug" 0 kB [ebuild N ] gnome-extra/swfdec-gnome-2.22.2 USE="-debug" 0 kB [ebuild N ] media-libs/swfdec-0.6.6-r1 USE="-alsa -doc -ffmpeg -gstreamer gtk -oss -pulseaudio" 0 kB Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Expected it to not complain about alsa when -alsa is in use for the package. Can the package be built without any sound support whatsoever?
(In reply to comment #0) [...] > Can the package be built without any sound support whatsoever? Yes it can. There is a --with-audio=none option that should, in a sense, be the default for the myconf variable. I'll get to this as soon as my internet connection gets fixed. If anyone else feels like beating me to it, you're welcome ... :D
Created attachment 162402 [details, diff] Patch to ebuild to fix audio=none issue, and pa/alsa/oss order issues (In reply to comment #1) > Yes it can.

(among other things) ;p Contributions to the attached ebuild patch came from: Cardoe, Ford_Prefect, leio, and a few other guys on #-desktop :p
Thanks for the patch - fixed in CVS without bump (0.6.8 and 0.7.4 to make future bumps easier).
Thanks guys, I was able to merge media-libs/swfdec-0.6.8 this morning. I kept trying the old one and missed the fact that you said 0.6.8 :)
