[linux-audio-user] Gentoo users?

[Jon Ellis]

Plugins (from http://www.plugin.org.uk) are now building:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12296

The alsaplayer-0.99.73 ebuild is now part of portage. I'm still working 
on getting the others accepted.

I'll start to look at other jack enabled apps. next.

If anyone out there in user-land has experience with gentoo - how to  
get the best out of it for linux audio, etc. please get in touch. I'd 
like to start collecting info on a site.

Thanks

j.
