Good idea, but no cigar. |

Mick suggested pulseaudio. I don't think it can be that because there's no |
| 29 |
sign of it in my backups; neither in world nor under /etc/portage. I'll try it |
| 30 |
though; I just need to decide whether to set the USE flag globally or just on |
| 31 |
certain packages - or just emerge pulseaudio. The global setting causes 10 |
| 32 |
rebuilds, including ffmpeg and firefox, as well as 9 new packages, so don't |
| 33 |
hold your breath. |
