Ok, ok I'm going to make it a point to merge KDE this weekend ( it will give me an opportunity to test alsa under kde) and take a look at the documentation you've written, as well a peruse a few ebuilds that utilize eclasses, so that I will gain some first hand knowledge about them. Thank you for your patience in explaining about them. tod
