Hi Neil,
   Hard for me to tell but I think it's added. I can get to new
updates in the pro-audio overlay using emerge. The USE flags are new
today so the emerge database knows about the right files and ebuilds.
I can find the packages with esearch. However eix doesn't see them.

   I wonder if it is because I'm using the cdb hack for the portage
database but the overlay doesn't seem to be included in that?

   Thanks again!
