In the configure phase (called by make) gkrellmss checks for ALSA. This involves opening the ALSA devices, causing sandbox to complain. Unfortunately, gkrellmss then decides to continue with the make; not only this but it hides the ./configure output in a logfile. Grrr. </rant> addpredict /dev/snd makes things work - gkrellmss doesn't actually mind that the ALSA test fails to open devices, it still compiles in ALSA support. However this is probably incorrect for 2.4 kernels, so addpredict /dev might be better for the general case.
Created attachment 27225 [details] suggested ebuild # ALSA test causes sandbox to break (even though configure still succeeds) addpredict /dev/snd Also took the liberty of removing redundant S=${WORKDIR}/${P}
