provocative Checking for loaded ALSA drivers at the package compilation time is not a very good solution. Maybe the packages that require alas-driver should be changed to require alsa-lib? Or maybe the 2.5 kernels should provide virtual/alsa and the packages depend on that virtual package? Myself I don't run development kernels. Brandon, what's your take? The problem is, that alsa-lib fails to compile because alsa-driver is not installed (alsa-lib will fail at configure). # emerge -s alsa-lib alsa-driver Searching...

Works just dandy. Hmm, new version. *updates alsa-lib* (side comment, why hasn't alsa-lib been updated from my daily emerge -u world?) # emerge alsa-lib [...] emerged just fine too :) alsa-lib doesn't require alsa-driver package |
