While discussing a couple issues I was having with automated tinderbox |
| 2 |
testing of gnome/kde on x86, it was decided that now might be a good |
| 3 |
time to visit the default virtual for alsa. Basically, the Gentoo Linux |
| 4 |
ALSA Guide[1] recommends using the in-kernel ALSA. We are also using |
| 5 |
2.6 kernels as the default on almost all architectures. The idea is |
| 6 |
pretty simple. Change virtual/alsa to match virtual/kernel-sources in |
| 7 |
base/virtuals, and change virtual/alsa to alsa-driver on architectures |
| 8 |
still using a 2.4 kernel. |

So should we do this? |

|
| 12 |
I think it would be a wise move, as I've seen more and more issues with |
| 13 |
alsa-driver being pulled in when people don't want/need it. |
