Is it possible to install it?
Every random page I could find that was gentoo+oss4 related seemed

install.
Anyone using it?

I found
"Use elogind to get control over framebuffer when running as regular user"
Could someone explain what this entails? What happened before this USE

Does it allow you to send the contents of a wav file to an external
DAC without first messing with the contents?

The synopsis in the man page for openrc says
openrc [-n, --no-stop] [-o, --override] [runlevel]
but the text says nothing at all about the -o flag.
Anyone knows what it does? I assume it was an oversight.
