Basically, the Gentoo Linux ALSA Guide[1] recommends using the in-kernel ALSA. We are also using 2.6 kernels as the default on almost all architectures. The idea is pretty simple. Change virtual/alsa to match virtual/kernel-sources in base/virtuals, and change virtual/alsa to alsa-driver on architectures still using a 2.4 kernel. So should we do this? I think it would be a wise move, as I've seen more and more issues with alsa-driver being pulled in when people don't want/need it. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-rLLR1VxKeBKc9bYuI5Ww Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDU+yMkT4lNIS36YERAonQAJ9rMl13uXgyKcHGH+z8Gy8NgCaqGACgxbBi hCX1A74ll/INeBXvFiYljCk= =1USP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-rLLR1VxKeBKc9bYuI5Ww-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
