It appears that asound.h is provided by the new package, alsa-headers I didn't pick up alsa-headers possibly because I'm using ~ARCH alsa packages in order to have a functioning alsa with my hardware and kernel. Could be for some other reason though. The upshot is that the emerge failed until I emerged alsa-headers. alsa-headers should probably be a dependancy. Also, unrelated but worth noting. >>> Unmerging media-sound/sox-12.17.4-r1... No package files given...

This bug has nothing to do with any .h. It is just a trivial mistake in the ebuild. I fixed it by editing the ebuild with vi and changing a ^A in the code with a ". You can read more information here because i submitted a new bug before reading this one. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59532 I am sorry but no other sox bug talked about the ebuild.
alsa-headers is a dependency of alsa-lib which is a dependency of sox... as for the other bug, it's a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46096 ***
Right, I noted the alsa lib dependency. That's why I suggested the ~ARCH thing. Figured it could cause trouble for other users in the same situation since there's no upgrade to the later alsa lib. Sorry about 2 bugs in 1. The second thing seemed so trivial I just thought I'd mention it in passing. Doesn't seem like a dupe, really, since the second part was the least interesting bit of it. Ah well.
