[gentoo-user] Sound control in Enlightenment

Hash: SHA256

I have just reinstalled my Gentoo and discovered some unwanted change.
Last time "Mixer" had the ability to:
	1) choose which sound output to use when connected to my
	bluetooth speaker
	2) set volume above 100%
	3) every sound playing app could get configured separately from
	system master volume by app's title bar

Now all those features are missing. I guess it's either some app not
being installed or some USE flag not set. Another possibility is that
last time I had ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" which now I decided to drop.
Any ideas if there is possibility to get those features back?

I'm on a stable arch, x11-wm/enlightenment-0.25.3 and dev-libs/efl-1.26.2.  
With the pulseaudio USE flag not set I get no sound through the laptop built in 
speaker.  On another system which has pulseaudio set for efl,  I recall sound 
works, but I have not tested it lately to confirm.  I'll get to it within a 
week or so and can check if sound works as it should/used to.

In the first instance check efl is compiled with USE="pulseaudio".

Hello!
I managed to solve it. Just had to rebuild Enlightenment so it can see
newly-built EFL. Thanks a lot for help.
