I'm running 'default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop' on this box and the pulseaudio |
| 18 |
USE flag is inactive as far as portage is concerned. None of my packages are |
| 19 |
bringing in pulseaudio either: |

|

~ $ euse -I pulseaudio |

I guess that the gnome/kde make.profiles may include this USE flag in their |

defaults? |
