7	The trick is to add "alsa" to your USE setting in /etc/make.conf. Then the
8	linux-sources will include a /usr/src/linux/extras/alsa directory, and when
9	you merge linux-extras (a special package that uses your current sources
10	in /usr/src/linux) it will use the sources in /usr/src/linux/extras/alsa to
11	install the alsa modules and includes.
12
13	So, if you are using linux-sources, add "alsa" to USE, remerge linux-sources,
14	then remerge linux-extras and you should have alsa available to you.
