[gentoo-user] newer alsa-lib and .asoundrc

In the elog or ewarn message for alsa-lib there is now a warning about
having an old .asoundrc file laying around. Does this mean that we don't
even need .asoundrc anymore? I have gotten rid of mine and things do seem to
be working.

I also emerged alsa-driver without the oss USE flag and firefox seems to be
working and can even play flash videos while amarok and mpg321 are also
playing at the same time.

That's correct.  Newer versions of alsa have built-in configurations
that automatically enable the dmix and dsnoop plugins when necessary.

This is awesome. alsa pretty much works just like you want right out of the
box now.
