This patch effects a single sound card driver. (RME HDSP 9652) I wonder
if I can just move that driver (and possibly some Alsa make file) to a
local, private directory, patch it, and then just make it and move it to
the /lib directory by hand?

This is basically the way I managed to build my network driver under
Redhat and Mandrake when it wasn't supported.

Or since it's a sound card driver, how about I change my ALSA_CARDS
entry? Will an emerge command pick up changes in make.conf? 

Thanks,
Mark
