I just did an update and when alsa-lib went to update I get the following error. >>> emerge (1 of 4) media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.5-r2 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) alsa-lib-1.0.5.tar.bz2 * Checking sound headers for broken asound.h ... yes * Your version of: * /usr/include/sound/asound.h * is broken (from a user space perspective).

right, so do what it says ;)
It'd be great if emerge was able to patch things automatically.
That would violate policy. One package should not trample another package. Some exceptions are made for /etc/services and similar files, but DEFINITELY not the kernel. Using media-sound/alsa-driver is the recommended way to use ALSA because of problems like this.
I thought the recommended why for 2.6 kernel users was use the drivers found in the kernel itself. Anyway could there be an option so when a package such as this needs to manilulate another package it comes up with some warning message like "Portage must change /path/to/file, /path/to/another/file are you sure you want to continue?"
file a bug with the portage devs... until then, it will remain as it currently is (an error message after emerging alsa-lib)
could potentially add a dep for appropriate headers to shut alsa-lib up...
