Yes, I understand that, jut just because the module is called es1371, it does not mean that the *card* is also called es1371-- in fact it probably is not, given that alsa-driver does not recognize that as a valid card, or valid card name, or something, during the compile.
So what I meant is that maybe your ALSA_CARDS setting should be for ens1371, which might compile the snd-es1371 driver. It would be odd, but it could happen.

Typo, thus?I've been doing manual emerge updates (a.k.a not cron) for awhile now because emerge kept wanting to update alsa-driver to 1.0.8-r1 and the compile kept failing. This morning I actually looked closely at the beginning of the emerge of alsa-driver and noticed a message that said ${ALSA_CARD} NOT DEFINED; COMPILING ALL DRIVERS (or something like that.) I remembered awhile back that someone on this list had a similiar problem and that someone told them that the driver compile would fail if the hardware the driver was for did not exist on the system. I found the Gentoo Alsa Guide online and it said that I should find out what my soundcard was and cross-reference it with the Alsa Soundcard Matrix. I did that. I'm not sure I understood the information the Matrix provided, but this is what I think it means:
baby root # lspci | grep 'audio' 0000:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04)
The Matrix (to the best of my understanding) said that I would use the
es1371 driver for my sound card.
I entered that in /etc/make.conf: ALSA_CARDS="es1371"
I ran emerge -u alsa-driver. Just before it fails, it says:
checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unknown soundcard es1371
Did I give the wrong driver? I think I got it right. Also mentioned in the Alsa Soundcard Matrix were ens1371 and snd-es1371, but I modprobed both of those and didn't find them. I successfully modprobed es1371...
