Hi, i'm suggesting that oss support is not disabled depending on "use oss" flag as with some movies it gives bad sound. quote from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/info.html upported audio output devices ... # native ALSA 0.9 driver (buggy, use OSS emulation!) ...
This is not a valid request... the point of gentoo is customization, users have the option to enable or disable the OSS emulation mode at their option, I personally use mplayer with alsa9 with no problems.
