if you have ALSA built-in you dont need media-audio/alsa-driver. emerge -C alsa-driver to remove it from your system and world-file
can we change the error message from configure: error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel. to configure: error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel. please remove it from your update file... or, even better, if this particular situation arises, can we do the emerge -C automatically? as I stated upfront, this one is a minor nuisance...but why not make it easier? regards, -iaw
automatically do a emerge -C is a bad idea as there may be a user with multiple kernels, one with and another without alsa built-in so it would break his alsa every time he does a emerge -u world when he's using the alsa-kernel.
