Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I recently ran into a problem with alsaplayer concerning media-libs/libsndfile. I could not emerge alsaplayer due to a compile error complaining about a missing sndfile.h. I tracked sndfile.h being owned by libsndfile, for which there is an ebuild. I emerged libsndfile and had no further troubles with alsaplayer. Although, the ebuild does not require libsndfile as a dependency,it seems to be one. I tried without all relevant USE flags, but alsaplayer still required sndfile.h. Furthermore, I tried all versions of alsaplayer in portage, and they all seem to require libsndfile. I thought maybe the original author of this bug (41326) meant libsndfile in/stead of libsnd, hence the reason I am posting here as a new bug.
Created attachment 56776 [details, diff] patch for alsaplayer ebuild this patch adds libsndfile to the alsaplayer dependencies
fixed in cvs , thanks for reporting and for using gentoo
