I left "genkernel" working overnight on my custom ".config", and now that I removed "/etc/asound.conf" and "/etc/asound.status" and rebooted, everything is working fine with just plain ALSA.
As far as I know, "sdl" is somewhat like "pulse", isn't it? Some higher level of interfacing, I think. Let's do some more research... By the way, looking on your previous post, why do you have alsa-libs emerged and alsa built in the kernel at the same time? Thanks again Francisco -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have one idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw
