I was experiencing this exact same problem; turns out it's a problem with alsa-lib-1.0.8 (the default x86 stable version). I was able to resolve this by unmasking alsa-lib-1.0.9 and alsa-headers-1.0.9 in package.keywords and re-emerging. See the following thread and bug for details: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-313030.html (Be sure to read through a bit) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87099 If this is indeed the cause, this is certainly safe to mark as a dupe and/or resolved.
