I don't know of any more up to date link to recommend, because I've not used |

oss, but is there something wrong with using alsa? |

Have you had a look at various overlays - not sure which ebuild is the best to |
| 16 |
use for oss. |

Most desktop environments pull in the pulseaudio ebuild these days and pa |
| 27 |
starts up as needed by udev/ConsoleKit when using openrc, or just udev/systemd |
| 28 |
when using systemd. |

Have a look here for set up details: |

On some PCs I have found bluetooth audio a pain to configure. I was advised |
| 35 |
to install net-wireless/blueman, which made it less painful to get bluetooth |
| 36 |
audio source/sink working in my use case. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
However, in many cases bluetoothctl is all you need to get the devices to pair |
| 39 |
and get pulseaudio to pick up the bluetooth device as an audio sink. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
pactl list sinks |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
and |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
pactl list sources |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
will show you what pulseaudio sees. |

Not at all, just shoot away and users with more knowledge and experience will |
| 54 |
chime in as necessary if they know the answer. |
