Yep, this has to do with Alsa 0.9.  See 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2324

This brings up a much larger question: why did gentoo switch to 0.9 
before major packages like KDE3's kdemultimedia was ready for this 
version of Alsa?

When do we (and by we I mean them) think this will be resolved?

Re: [gentoo-dev] kdemultimedia-3.0-r1 doesn't build :(

[George Shapovalov]

Well, there is a resolution already, so that issue is not really that big of a 
deal. Just do:
USE="-alsa" emerge kdemultimedia
also when you load your alsa modules load oss compatibility ones:
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
This way you will get kdemultimedia to compile AND you will be able to 
actually use it with alsa drivers (it does work this way).
Don't forget to unmute necessary channels!

Who knows? The kmidi manager is aware of the situation (at least there's an 
open bug  on bugs.kde.org and I've mailed him too). OTOH not all alsa 0.9 
systems are affected by this problem. It's almost entirely out of my hands 
:-(

the last time they updated the alsa 0.5.x libraries was:
2000-12-07  The ALSA packages version 0.5.10 wer


I would call this branch "OUTDATED" ..... the 0.9 interface has been
around since  2001-02-21  thats more than a year advance and allowance
to adopt to the new codebase.  I'd say this was plenty of time for all
project maintainers to get the know of the new libraries and support it.


So, the code has been around. should we really have waited for another
year using old, slightly broken and buggy codebase that was completely
unsupported by the developers and where the drivers werent updated?  I
dont think that would be a good thing in the long run.

I agree, moving to 0.9.0-rc1 was the right move, and it is rather amazing that 
kdemultimedia hasn't become alsa 0.9-aware in all that time.  

May I suggest though a hack in the kde-multimedia ebuild to do a USE="-alsa 
oss", perhaps with an alsa-oss dependency, so that people installing KDE 
don't get bit by this glitch.  Once kdemultimedia is fixed by the author the 
hack could then be removed, but it would make getting started with the 
current librarys alot simpler for many.

Jean.

Since it seems a fix will take some time, ok, I'll disable alsa support in 
kdemm by default.
