# emerge -p wengophone These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.11 [ebuild N ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.11 USE="-doc" [ebuild N ] net-im/wengophone-2.0_pre20060524 I use OSS (for real personnal reasons). I don't want/need alsa. And, normally, wengophone is usable with OSS. I don't have ALSA in my USE. May be ebuild need to improve ? Sorry for my poor english.
there is a disable-alsa option but it does not work for me. Complain upstream please.
