For the programs that are oss-only a useflag shouldn't even exists, because it's not optional. All systems I maintain (about 15 different hardware/software specs) have -oss and work as expected. I'm interested if someone on this list has hardware/software where oss is preferred over alsa? Does anybody knows if the default setup of other distros include "oss-compiled" packages? -- gentoo-releng@gentoo.org mailing list
