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.

Miss the compile output?  Hint:
