If I emerge whichever version of alsa-lib-1.0.16 is current, mplayer, audacious, and anything else that relies on alsa don't play audio. However, Realplayer (bleagh) and anything that works off of OSS emulation still works.
If i put... >=media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc1-r1 ...into /etc/portage/package.mask, and emerge the older version of alsa-lib, the above programs work fine, but alsactl dies like so... [m3000][root][~] alsactl store alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_tlv_parse_dB_info, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference [m3000][root][~] alsactl restore alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_ctl_get_dB_range, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference ...which means that settings can't be saved/restored at shutdown/reboot. This is a PITA, because I have to manually run alsamixer after each reboot, and unmute and re-set all the audio settings. This is the lesser of 2 evils, because no alsa sound is a showstopper.
