If the use flags say that you're not using alsa, it's not always disabled
correctly, resulting in a compilation error if the wrong subset of alsa
libraries and includes exist on the system.

Also, it would be nice to have a flag to turn off sound support entirely (it's
not  all that important for this game).

I've uploaded an ebuild that fixes that alsa flag issue and adds a nosound use
flag.  I tested it on my system, and it works great.

I've fixed the bug but didn't add the nosound USE flag.  We generally
discourage no* USE flags on Gentoo, so we try not to add them if we can help
it.

The problem with compiling this game with sound is that it interferes with
other applications that use sound, and more often than not, you would rather
not have the sound.  If there's some combination of USE flags that will
implicitly turn it off (like -alsa -oss), then that would serve the same
purpose.

I can do that... in fact, I just did... :P
