37 I wasn't sure about it either.  I was hoping it would provide kernel
38 modules that could be used or something like that.  Might be worth
39 installing and then doing a equery f alsa-oss and see just what it does
40 include.  If it won't help, uninstall and hope for another option.

42 Surely there is a way to do this, somewhere.  :/
