Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: default USE flags in profiles (oss)
No game I've installed here needs any package with the oss USE flag, those packages that use OSS are fine the ALSA OSS Emulation.2006/9/24, Ryan Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Mike Frysinger wrote: oss is dead, why bother going with it in default USE anymore ?alsa forever ! i think the standard argument is games.i've never needed it though.--de.

A flag that I don't like at all, as it should have probably been alsa, but it was difficult to implement without proper usable package.use.mask (will take time before we can actually use it). This because aoss doesn't enable ALSA's *oss emulation*, but uses media-libs/alsa-oss to provide an indirection layer that filters accesses to DSP devices to move the data to ALSA. A similar thing is done by esddsp, artsdsp, padsp. Or wait for per-package USE defaults and use it for oss in alsa-driver as an exception. Yes this is feasible, but for the time being I'd rather not have to receive in my [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder two bugs a day about people wanting OSS emulation in alsa-driver. -- Diego Flameeyes Pettenò - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE pgpebHWnWNzsa.pgp Description: PGP signature
