I emerged alsa9 and tried to emerge kdemultimedia. However, kdemultimedia bombs out while trying to make TIMIDITY. Emerging kdemultimedia with "-alsa" works, but the kmix application does not work (displays empty frame) and other mult. apps act are unstable.
Here are the errors I am seeing. My guess is that the relevant line is: /usr/include/sys/asoundlib.h:1: warning: #warning This header is deprecated, use <alsa/asoundlib.h> instead.

alsa.9 changes have been merged into kde3 cvs. My guess is that they haven't made it out yet.
An update. (Not news really but I'm putting it here too for formality and accessability). kdemultimedia/kmix,kmidi officially do not support alsa 0.9. It's a matter of a rewrite rather than a small fix so I'm not going to try it myself :-) I don't know when the kde devs are going to do this. It's not in cvs head atm (not as of a week ago anyway) and 3.1 beta1 is due in ~4 weeks I think.
Still having this problem even with the latest kde-3.0.1-20020604 ebuilds... possibly the kdemultimedia ebuild should check for +alsa in USE and then add -alsa to the ./configure?
The current kdemultimedia ebuild already has a harcoded line that says: myconf="$myconf --without-alsa --disable-alsa" Is that not enough? Is the kdemm configure still picking up alsa automatically? It isn't here. Can I have some output?
I submitted a new timidity++ ebuild and it works with alsa9. Maybe kdemultimedia will emerge now. :)
is this fixed with current ebuilds (kdemultimedia-3.0.4)?
anyone still have this problem? please comment.
I've got kde 3.0.4 with alsa 0.9., if i _use_ alsa flags, kdemultimedia doesn't compile, without (as hardcoded default in ebuild) everything's fine...
This is officially not fixed, both in kde 3.0.x and in 3.1.x.
No reason for this to remain open. I'm not going to write alsa.9 support for kdemm anytime soon...
