After compiling soundtracker-0.6.8 with the alsa use flag, soundtracker fails to provide me with the option to use alsa output. Although all other applications seem to work fine with alsa, I noticed this in the config output for soundtracker: .... checking for setresuid... yes checking for snd_pcm_plug_open in -lasound... yes *** ALSA v0.9 found on your system. No audio drivers available *** for ALSA v0.9. No problem, just use OSS driver or JACK instead. checking for esd-config... /usr/bin/esd-config checking for ESD - version >= 0.2.8... yes checking for esd_play_stream... no .... I suppose it's possible that I'm doing something wrong, but no other applications have complained about alsa drivers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set alsa use flag in make.conf 2. Compile soundtracker 3. Start soundtracker, go to settings and Audio configuration and attempt to switch to the ALSA sound system. Actual Results: Option is missing. Expected Results: Option should be present. I'm marking this bug as Major since it prevents me from using this program effectively.
Attach a complete emerge log here, and post emerge --info please.

Created attachment 134059 [details] emerge soundtracker > emerge.log
from http://www.soundtracker.org/requirements.php3 The ALSA driver supports only the v0.4.x and v0.5.x architectures of ALSA. For later versions, please use the OSS emulation included with ALSA, and the standard OSS driver from SoundTracker. If you want to make use of the MIDI input features of SoundTracker, please install one of the supported ALSA versions. Looks like the project needs a new upstream maintainer
Removed USE alsa, we can use jack or oss.
