Comment 2 Ole Tange 2002-08-20 16:31:27 UTC

Now the funny thing is that 'emerge alsa-lib' works fine.

the plugin you want to install is, in fact, alsa-xmms.  I will update the
DESCRIPTION for xmms-aalsa.

Comment 4 Ole Tange 2002-08-23 03:12:19 UTC

Is that enough?  
  
IMHO a gentoo user should be able to expect that  emerge anypackage  will  
install anypackage and all depencencies or fail even before decompressing  
source (e.g. if anypackage conflicts with an installed package).  
  
IMHO a gentoo user should not be expected to read DESCRIPTION before installing 
a package.

Arcady, how can we detect the alsa version installed? (ie, without using emerge
or gentoolkit)

Comment 6 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Hmm...  There seems to be /proc/asound/version that contains the info.  Would
that do?

  agenkin@bashful:~$ cat /proc/asound/version 
  Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc2.
  Compiled on Aug 23 2002 for kernel 2.4.20-pre4-ac1 with versioned symbols.

wmmixer-alsa needs a similar thing.

This is a reminder to myself to create an eclass which checks for the correct
version of alsa

is this still an issue or can we close this ?

Comment 9 Ole Tange 2003-04-24 15:05:56 UTC

Now I get: 
 
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no 
checking for alsa-driver package... not found or wrong version 
configure: error: Install alsa-driver v0.3.0pre5+ package first... 
 
!!! ERROR: media-libs/alsa-lib-0.5.10b failed. 
!!! Function src_compile, Line 19, Exitcode 1 
!!! (no error message) 
 
Maybe it should depend on alsa-driver?

Comment 10 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Well, alsa drivers older than 0.9 are not supported any more.  My vote is for removing xmms-aalsa package and closing this bug as WONTFIX.
