Emerge of libquicktime fails because alsa-lib dependency isn't specific enough. From the ebuild: RDEPEND="dv? ( media-libs/libdv ) gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.0 ) aac? ( media-libs/faad2 encode?

Because #142213 mentions the specific symbol I am having trouble with, I assume upgrading alsa-lib will fix my problem. I am doing so now.
