That was it. Alsa is part of the 2.6 kernel, so development-source was
showing up there also. I removed it and now I only get alsa-xmms.
Unfortunately it doesn't build, but that's normal bug report stuff. I
wouldn't have gotten here without your experience. Thanks.

No, that was it. However, it seems like a weakness in portage to make
development-sources first in line when the system isn't running
development-sources. There's certainly the condition where someone wants
to download development sources and just look at them, but not build
them, or they build them but don't run them. 

Anyway, thanks much for the help. 

Cheers,
Mark
