He may not need to. Once he gets it working with a proper -alsa, he can file a bug report with the fixed ebuild, which could then make it into the tree. Or he may find that compiling without alsa is no feasible, in which case the tree could still be changed, to remove the +alsa from IUSE. Either way, trying to lie to portage or prevent it doing what it wants is generally a bad idea. -- Neil Bothwick Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
