Hi,
New to Gentoo to get away from systemd CVEs and I enabled vaapi and IN10N use
flags and after changed-use it suggested rebuild-rdeps rebuilding many packages.
During babl and so meson build.
I get 'Unknown keyword arguments "Description"' in the meson log.

What's the relationship between
ebuild(1) & emerge(1), ebuild(1) & ebuild.sh?
Why the ebuild(1)(python script) command exists,
is it for debugging ebuild scripts?

I had the same issue here when installing pulseaudio. I don't use GNOME,
so that does take part of the equation away. The problem was solved by
changing permissions to /dev/snd and it's containing files. After
chmodding /dev/snd/* to 666, I was able to play sounds as a normal user.
In the Gentoo guide, it mentions this, and it also mentions taking your
user out of the audio group if you're currently in it. Please see
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio#Root_can_play_sound.2C_other_users_cannot
for more detailed information.
