Thanks for the pointer to eix. I did the spelunking you suggested, |
| 19 |
and more. First item is that I re-emerged alsa-lib, and got the |
| 20 |
following warning... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* Messages for package media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.16: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* You haven't selected _any_ PCM plugins. Either you set it to |
| 25 |
* something like the default |
| 26 |
* (which is being set in the profile UNLESS you unset them) or alsa |
| 27 |
* based applications |
| 28 |
* are going to *misbehave* ! |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Note that after running into some "helpful defaults" a few years ago |
| 31 |
(*hack* *kaff* IPV6 *hack* *kaff*) I ended up inserting "-*" at the |
| 32 |
beginning of my USE variable. I have quite a bit of stuff in the USE |
| 33 |
variable, but it's there only because it provides features I want/need |
| 34 |
or because an app I want/need complains about missing something. Is |
| 35 |
this one of those cases? I should probably solve this first. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
About alsa-plugins... is it required for MP3 or streaming MP3? If |
| 38 |
not I'll consider unmerging it. |
