Please try alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1. I believe it works with 2.6.10.
alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1 ? After an emerge sync, I've got that : webslinger alsa-driver # ls alsa-driver-0.9.8.ebuild alsa-driver-1.0.6a.ebuild ChangeLog metadata.xml alsa-driver-1.0.3.ebuild alsa-driver-1.0.7-r3.ebuild files alsa-driver-1.0.5a.ebuild alsa-driver-1.0.7-r4.ebuild Manifest webslinger alsa-driver # pwd /usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-driver
Found it. There was no ALSA_CARDS defined in make.conf It worked with it. But, by the way, why this ebuild doesn't warn about this ? I think I remember it did once ago... We ought to consider it's a bug, as without knowing a little about alsa/portage (or having read the appropriate documentation), we are not supposed to know we need an ALSA_CARDS field in make.conf, at least it's my opinion...
there's a note in the 1.0.8_rc1 ebuild. Please sync and try that one.
Okay. I've synced, and did emerge -Du world. It still compile fine with ALSA_CARDS set, but without, there's a note (right ! ;-) but also an error while compiling, as follows. It's reproducible every time I do emerge alsa-driver.

Please report that problem upstream as I doubt I'll have any time to find/fix it before they do. Report the URL to the bug report here, and I'll follow it. Thanks.
Fixed upstream
heh... I meant to close this a while ago... it's fixed in 1.0.8_rc1 which is marked stable.
I had this error with 1.0.8 and 1.0.8_rc1, but I had ALSA_CARDS in make.conf (I had ALSA_CARDS="all") Seems it doesn't work anymore... I had to put ALSA_CARDS="<list of cards>" And strangely, on another computer I had no ALSA_CARDS (errr. I wrote SOUND_CARDS), but it emerged cleanly.
I had this exact problem on kernel gentoo-2.4.28-r5 and alsa-1.0.8-rc1. I have an nforce2 chipset athlon xp mobo w/ the intel8x0 sound set. It does in fact seem to be a problem with the ALSA_CARDS="" line in /etc/make.conf. I originally did not have this line in the file at all. I was using alsa-1.0.7 (stable, r4?). I then went to update alsa on a regular emerge -up world and it kept dying. It was very puzzling. I then added ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" in /etc/make.conf and alsa-1.0.8 compiled. Developers, please check that you can still compile this ebuild without adding the alsa line to /etc/make.conf. I'm sure this is causing massive confusion to n00bs and seasoned gentooers alike. I would suggest to create either a new bug for this issue or re-open this report. I don't think advising people of adding that line to /etc/make.conf on this obsucre, oft looked over page is a good enough fix. This sounds like a lame fix that only other companies would have in their OS ;) Let's make sure this works out of the box, the first time. Cheers, Rees
what about 1.0.8? If that doesn't work, file a bug upstream as this is not a gentoo-specific issue, thanks.
Hmmmm. I downloaded the sources from alsa-project.org and compiled manually. I thought I would find a missing option or something... but the compilation went error free. I used the configuration displayed by emerge: # ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --without-oss --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux --with-build=/usr/src/linux --with-isapnp=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=all # make [blah blah] ALSA modules were successfully compiled. I have now working with a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r5 kernel. I tried to emerge alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1, with ALSA_CARDS=all". It fails... Did I miss something or do the portage build just a configure + make ?
Well, I tried on 4 computers, and I have always the same problem. The pcxhr card fails compiling... no idea why since it does when I configure & compile directly the alsa sources. And no idea if it needs some specific kernel option or if it's a CFLAG problem. It's not on Alsa's soundcard matrix (http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=All#matrix). So I searched for the list of cards to put in ALSA_CARDS to have all cards built except this one (at least for alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1). I found out (with PCI bus only): ALSA_CARDS="seq-dummy, dummy, virmidi, mtpav, serial-u16550, mpu401, serialmidi, loopback, portman2x4, ali5451, atiixp, atiixp-modem, au8810, au8820, au8830, azt3328, bt87x,cs46xx, cs4281, emu10k1, emu10k1x, ca0106, korg1212, mixart, nm256, rme32, rme96, rme9652, hdsp, trident, ymfpci, als4000, cmipci, ens1370, ens1371, es1938, es1968, maestro3, fm801, ice1712, ice1724, intel8x0, intel8x0m, sonicvibes, via82xx, via82xx-modem, vx222, pdplus, hdspm, azx, usb-audio, usb-usx2y" The following ones can be added when the kernel supports: -ISA (Bus options): ad1848, cs4231, cs4232, cs4236, es1688, es18xx, gusclassic, gusextreme, gusmax, interwave, interwave-stb, opti92x-ad1848, opti92x-cs4231, opti93x, sb8, sb16, sbawe, wavefront, cmi8330, opl3sa2, sgalaxy, sscape, msnd-pinnacle -ISA PNP (Device Drivers ---> Plug and Play support): ad1816a, es968, als100, azt2320, dt019x -PCMCIA (Bus options ---> PCCARD): vxpocket, pdaudiocf, vxp440 -Video4Linux (Device Drivers ---> Multimedia devices ---> Video For Linux): fm801-tea575x asihpi : needs a special option in ./configure - prob doesn't work as is in Gentoo. The following cards should work with Firmware loading support in kernel (Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> <*> Hotplug firmware loading support), but they don't... no idea why: darla20, gina20, layla20, darla24, gina24, layla24, mona, mia, gina3g, layla3g, indigo, indigoio, indigodj And finally, I couldn't compile these ones: pc98-cs4232, fm801-tea575x, powermac, sa11xx-uda1341, sun-amd7930, sun-cs4231, sun-dbri, harmony I think they are probably architecture specific (powermac, sun-*)
