Description Ben Beuchler 2002-07-19 15:52:43 UTC

The alsa-xmms ebuild refuses to compile, stating that it cannot find a 
version of the alsa libs against which it can compile.  A poke through the 
config.log reveals that it is trying to call snd_cards(), which is 
apparently no longer in libasound.so.  It doesn't appear that the package 
has been updated in over two years.

I recommend replacing it with this one, which compiled nicely and seems to 
be working just fine:

It seems alsa-xmms is updated to use the source from
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/alsa-xmms now.
