Description Greg Watson (linuxkrn) 2003-07-12 11:25:34 UTC 
The alsa plugin for XMMS should NOT depend on alsa-driver because the 2.5.x
kernels have ALSA packaged with it.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 2.5.x kernel with alsa
2. try to emerge alsa-xmms

Actual Results:  
requires alsa-driver (external module) even if kernel packaged one present

Expected Results:  
Check for 2.5.x kernel and remove dep.

kernel 2.5 isn't the only one with alsa included
many 2.4 trees have it also

Yep, I agree with this bug report.  In fact, in the version 0.9.11 (which I committed a few days ago) I have changed the dependency to read "virtual/alsa" instead of "media-sound/alsa-driver".

Now, if we could only get all the kernels that provide alsa drivers also provide virtual/alsa, that would be great.  See bug 14907, which is a long-standing issue.

I meant to say "version 0.9.12", that is.
Comment 4 J. Ellis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-09 21:33:15 UTC 
As agenkin says, this is resolved in 0.9.12. Closing.
