but they do not require an oss use flag. The point of removing this flag is |
| 20 |
to remove "optional" oss support. |
| 21 |
Have a look at http://gentoo-portage.com/Search?search=&use=oss for the |
| 22 |
useage of this flag. |
| 23 |
And for your games argument. The games ebuilds from the above list I have |
| 24 |
looked at, provide both the "alsa" and the "oss" use flag, as do most |
| 25 |
really. |
| 26 |

It is not about removing OSS emulation, it is about removing duplicated |
| 28 |
backends. |
