You don't *need* portaudio or Pulse, but then you'll only be able to create WAV |
| 6 |
files, and not have the audio played live [1]. The developers should probably |
| 7 |
set one of them to be enabled by default in IUSE, since only creating WAV files |
| 8 |
is a very unusual use-case for a screen-reader. |

That's quite rare for Gentoo; Portage usually takes care of all that type of |
| 16 |
thing without requiring manual user interaction. The gentoo-sources ebuild |
| 17 |
doesn't really do much, aside from calling a couple of functions in the |
| 18 |
`kernel-2` eclass [2, 3] to extract the sources, generate the symlinks, and |
| 19 |
check for any potential versioning issues. |

Can you provide some more details? Why is the order relevant? |
