Only if you use the in-kernel ALSA. If you use the external |
| 12 |
alsa-driver, then the OSS support is controlled by the USE flag. |

I never touched it. It's in default-linux, not in my profile. |

I was wondering if we should keep it. There are quite a few packages |
| 25 |
that we know of that require it to be built into sdl-mixer, but I think |
| 26 |
we're currently masking a lot of the bugs in the ebuilds because it is |
| 27 |
set as default. At any rate, I've added it back to the "keep" pile. |
