I don't use Gentoo, but I do compile the most recent ALSA source releases in addition to the kernel driver (can't get enough bleeding edge ;-) and when specifying ./configure options, I have to add --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux, even though that path is (supposedly) the default. I don't know why I have to manually specify it but when I do, it works, and when I don't, it doesn't. Not sure if that helps at all. :-P
Does having an ALSA USE flag on Gentoo mean for the kernel, or for compiling ALSA separately? Sorry for not being "hip" and in-the-know about Gentoo. ;-D The kernel ALSA driver is usually pretty close behind the source releases, and the only other reason for compiling ALSA source releases are the libs (for other programs that may need ALSA libs) and the utils (for mixer settings, etc.). The rest is pretty esoteric (for the average user). The kernel driver should pretty much take care of your audio needs.

Has anyone had luck with Gentoo and 2.6?
