audiofile doesn't seem to respect the -alsa-Useflag anymore. It fails to compile when it tries to build alsaplay.cpp alsaplay.cpp:35:28: fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [alsaplay.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/audiofile-0.3.0/work/audiofile-0.3.0/examples' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/audiofile-0.3.0/work/audiofile-0.3.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 Reproducible: Always I don't use alsa, therefore I don't want to have any alsa packages installed. Version 0.2.7 still emerge fine.

Well, alsa is only needed for examples, which are noinst programs in the first place, so disabling the altogether seem the fastest (if perhaps not most simple) solution.
Fixed in CVS.
