I understand that, but Philip wrote that he wanted to find out if he could
compile ff without alsa-lib beeing present. To just test this case, emerge
--nodeps ff is perfect. If he finds out that ff would infact compile
without alsa-lib, he could open a bug rebort at b.g.o to make alsa-lib
optional. (or for that matter, create a patched ebuild in his local overlay)
