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? > Currently I am trying to compile it from source directly but there is a > small problem left with kernel 4.16.

Most desktop environments pull in the pulseaudio ebuild these days and pa starts up as needed by udev/ConsoleKit when using openrc, or just udev/systemd when using systemd. Have a look here for set up details: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio On some PCs I have found bluetooth audio a pain to configure. I was advised to install net-wireless/blueman, which made it less painful to get bluetooth audio source/sink working in my use case. However, in many cases bluetoothctl is all you need to get the devices to pair and get pulseaudio to pick up the bluetooth device as an audio sink. pactl list sinks and pactl list sources will show you what pulseaudio sees. > I hope, I do not bother you with all that questions coming up moving to > Gentoo... Not at all, just shoot away and users with more knowledge and experience will chime in as necessary if they know the answer. -- Regards, Mick
