Good idea, but no cigar. Mick suggested pulseaudio. I don't think it can be that because there's no sign of it in my backups; neither in world nor under /etc/portage. I'll try it though; I just need to decide whether to set the USE flag globally or just on certain packages - or just emerge pulseaudio. The global setting causes 10 rebuilds, including ffmpeg and firefox, as well as 9 new packages, so don't hold your breath. -- Regards, Peter.
