That is because 1) alsa is not a package name
2) current kernel ebuilds uses the kernel-2.eclass which specifies
that it provides virtual/alsa
So, when you asked it to emerge alsa, it looked at the list of things
that you've already installed, and saw that the kernel sources
"provides" alsa, so it says: ah-ha! I shall upgrade the kernel
sources.
