Question: I'm a C hacker; how do I go about getting to restore (and
enhance) this essential facility myself?

required? what does this mean?
Presumably to get out of the mess I've got to do something with one of
the packages which "is required to complete your request".
Surely somebody in the Gentoo portage team must see that printing human

that one of these is for the headphones and the other

sockets on my PC.
But which is which? I don't want to destoy anything by connecting them
the wrong way around.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
