Thank you all who replied my last messages.
Now I am back to plain alsa, but no two programs can use it at the same
time. Alsa drivers are built on the kernel, and I have the following
packages installed:
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.24.1:0
media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10.35:0.10
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-r1:0.9
The two first ones were puled by emerging "alsa-utils".
I have lost "/etc/asound.conf", and I guess this is the key. Looking to
which package it belongs to, "equery" found none. I have put a quite simple
version (as explained here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/ALSA#Default_Sound_Device)::
pcm.!default { type hw card Intel }
ctl.!default { type hw card Intel }
Any hints on how can I get all programs to mix up as before?
Thanks again
Francisco

I build my audio drivers into my kernel. I also have these alsa related
packages installed:
root@fireball / # equery list *alsa*
* Searching for *alsa* ...
[IP-] [ ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.24.1:0
[IP-] [ ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10.35:0.10
[IP-] [ ] media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.24:0
[IP-] [ ] media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.24.2-r1:0.9
[IP-] [ ] media-sound/alsamixergui-0.9.0.1.2-r4:0
root@fireball / #
See if yours looks something like this. I can watch videos and other
programs play sound at the same time.

In another machine I have at the office, sound works great without ever
having pulse installed. And there is no "/etc/asoud.whatever"
I will recompile the kernel to remove a loop device that is going default
every time.
Will post the results.
Thanks

I noticed this in my updates tonight. This may be what you need to
install or check into.

From what it says, it is what mixes sounds. That's my thinking anyway.

Thanks, Dale, but now everything is working fine again. I left "genkernel"
working overnight on my custom ".config", and now that I removed
"/etc/asound.conf" and "/etc/asound.status" and rebooted, everything is
working fine with just plain ALSA.
As far as I know, "sdl" is somewhat like "pulse", isn't it? Some higher
level of interfacing, I think. Let's do some more research...
By the way, looking on your previous post, why do you have alsa-libs
emerged and alsa built in the kernel at the same time?
Thanks again
Francisco

If I recall correctly, I had to install alsamixer to unmute my card. I
think that is what pulled that and others in. Funny thing is, once I
unmute the card, I guess I can remove the package. I don't think the
alsa service is running or anything. I use Kmix for volume settings.
Strange how each system does the same things but has different ways of
doing it. :/
