Yep. I didn't used to have the chrome binary package installed, but there are a couple things that I've never gotten to work in Chromium (e.g. Webex). > With chromium-bin, there is a wayland USE flag, but nothing for > jack. I looked into that more, and I had misread the emerge output. It wasn't google-chrome that depended on jack, and now I can't figure out why it was installed. I did # emerge -C virtual/jack media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit # emerge -auvND world It didn't get reinstalled. And then a subsequenct # emerge --depclean --ask removed another half-dozen audio-related packagets (zita-* and realtime-*, whatever they are). I'm sure the next time I try to use audio on that machine it won't work. I used to think that someday Linux sound support would get straightened out, but it just keeps getting worse... -- Grant
