Ardour supports pure ALSA, PulseAudio and JACK as audio back-ends, but the ebuild only allows one to build with support for ALSA only or for ALSA and JACK. There should be a "pulseaudio" USE flag to control whether the user wants to build with PulseAudio support too. I have the following working line in my local ebuild's src_configure(): > $( usex jack "$( usex pulseaudio '--with-backends=alsa,jack,pulseaudio' '--with-backends=alsa,jack' )" "$( usex pulseaudio '--with-backends=alsa,pulseaudio --libjack=weak' '--with-backends=alsa --libjack=weak' )" ) \ There may be a better way of writing it but it seems to work, I've tried compiling with USE="pulseaudio jack", USE="-pulseaudio jack" and USE="pulseaudio -jack" (but not with USE="-pulseaudio -jack") and they worked as expected. Reproducible: Always
