Marshal, Thanks. Either I am not asking my question clearly enough or I have misunderstood your answer. I think we are having some trouble getting the story straight. Alsa is part of the kernel on 2.6. The is evidenced by running make xconfig and seeing that it shows up under options for enabling sound. That we agree on. However, I cannot find the Alsa source code in the kernel source code tree: Step 1) Emerge development-sources Step 2) cd /usr/src/linux-beta/drivers Step 3) ls | grep sound Answer - not found. In the 2.4 kernel series there is a drivers/sound directory. In my downloaded version of the development-sources kernel there is no drivers/sound directory. If Alsa is truly 'part of the kernel' then my question was, and still is, where is the source code in the kernel tree? And finally, this needs to exist, because even though you want to say it's 'part of the kernel' meaning maybe we don't need to emerge alsa-driver, there still needs to be a directory that holds the drivers since we do need to do updates.
