Has anyone any advice on getting audacity working on Gentoo? Every time I start it I get error messages about the sound i/o system and host not found. Googling around the problem appears to be that my set up uses Alsa and Audacity uses OSS. Audacity looks for /dev/dsp but it does not exist. I checked and I have OSS emulation installed. I have also turned off the sound under KDE as this was recommended in one posting but it makes no difference. If I check the preferences, where I normally pick /dev/dsp, the pull down menus are empty. It seems I need to get audacity working with Alsa, for which I need portaudio 19, how would I do this on Gentoo? This machine dual boots into Mandrake and Audacity works under Mandrake so I am sure the hardware is OK.
