Hi Dhruba! alsa-lib is needed by many programs to be able to have alsa support. Eg. xine, mplayer etc. You can check this with 'emerge -ep xine-lib |grep alsa' or 'emerge -ep mplayer |grep alsa' (you should have of |course the alsa use flag'. After all, only the drivers are included in the 2.6.0 kernel :-) Alsa tools and alsa utils just give you a couple of little programs to fine-tune your sound support, set up the mixer volumes and such... Hope that helps!
