5 remove more alsa-driver cruft, leaving only the section on switching from alsa-driver to in-kernel, since alsa-driver is masked for removal from Portage

66 -Historically, Gentoo offered two ways to get ALSA up and running: the
67 -<e>in-kernel</e> driver and the external <c>alsa-driver</c> package. The two
68 -solutions essentially do the same thing; this made supporting the external
69 -package extremely difficult and time-consuming. The Gentoo maintainers decided
70 -to discontinue support for the <c>alsa-driver</c> package, concentrating their
71 -resources on the ALSA drivers available within the Linux kernel. This guide will
72 -focus solely on configuring ALSA via the in-kernel driver.

77 -link="alsa-bugs@g.o">Gentoo ALSA maintainers</mail> with why the
78 -in-kernel drivers don't work for you. Be sure to include detailed error logs.
