 |

why not? (for those who doesen't know, the ebuild say "does not work with 2.6")
thought I'd install them instead of using the in kernel driver, as I'm guessing the in kernel driver is older. |

ALSA support is completly built into kernel 2.6 so there is no need for alsa-drivers.

I'm aware of that, but the alsa support in the kernel is if I remember correctly considerably older than alsa-drivers is. |

Easily fixed 
copy contents of alsa dir "alsa-kernel" into kernel dir "sound".
copy contents of alsa dir "alsa-kernel/include" into kernel dir "include/sound".
make oldconfig && make
Have fun

I run 2.6 so haven't emerged alsa-drivers, but if I say 'emerge -up world' then it wants to emerge alsa-drives (as new rather than update). I guess this is a bug? |

Yes I am also running 2.6 and ran into this problem. The way that I got around this problem was to inject alsa-drivers so that it would not try to upgrade it.
| Code: | | emerge -i alsa-drivers-<version> |

Ah, thanks! I didn't know about injecting...
P.S. I used to live in Knoxville! |
