29 While I was searching with Google, it is said this can be gotten rid of
30 which I don't mind doing. As long as the sound works, which others says
31 it does, then I'm fine without it. When I disable it, or remove it from
32 make.conf, it won't re-emerge anything when I run emerge -uvDN world.
33 The key part being the -N of course.
34
35 Anyway, I don't have that file so do I just create it? Is it sort of
36 like a package.unmask file?
