The emul-linux-x86-soundlibs package (version 10.0-r1) comes with basic alsa libraries. However, some 32 bits applications using alsa may need 32 bits alsa plugins. This is especially true in my case where : - I _need_ to use 32 bits skype (corporate decision I cannot discuss although I would have much to say about) - I _want_ to use the pulseaudio sound server whose 64-bits alsa plugin is delivered with the alsa-plugins package I haven't try yet, but I'm pretty sure I won't have sound with my favorite game (enemy-territory) neither. Question : is there a strong reason why a 32-bits version of alsa-plugins (that would install plugins in /usr/lib32/alsa-lib) is not included in emul-linux-x86-soundlibs ? -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
