Bug 163513 – media-sound/alsa-driver: making sequencer stuff optional

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sascha G. 2007-01-24 00:00:55 UTC]

This is a request to make the building of the sequencer-related modules optional.
I am going to attach a patch to the ebuild that works fine at least for me.

I was already planning this, but I wanted to make sure that alsa-lib wouldn't break too many packages with midi disabled.
Plus, I'd like to get midi useflag enabled by default on profiles to retain the previous behaviour.

In 1.0.14_rc2-r1 and 9999.
