as You well know in the latest stable version of the Linux kernel branch 2.6.x
OSS is deprecated, and doesn't have driver for new hardware. Alsa OSS 
implementation doens't have allways correct all API OSS emulation, so some programs
works, some doesn't. 

quake2-icculus has option in makefile to chose between ALSA and OSS, but this
isn't exported throu ebuild file to user as choise. User can't chose ALSA.

I suggest to add alsa flag support.

Reproducible: Always

proposed patch for the ebuild

The patch adds the alsa use flag to quake2-icculus. Works for me, and the sound
isn't as chunky as it was with OSS.
