No problems with that. There is now a maintained 'proaudio' overlay
that gives access to pretty much everything I know about. (No
promises!) you can find out more about the overlay here:

Please note that Gentoo is a source release distro. Eventually you
build *everything* on your system from source code. This means that to
initially install the system you starting by downloading a small set
of precomiled packages to get the machine to boot and then you compile
most everything (in my case Xorg, Gnome, Firefox) you want to run.
It's a lot of work but it's been very stable for me.
Good luck,
Mark

Do you have any problems getting the latest audio apps? (that is, not
compiling, but already packaged)
brad nd my time compiling each and every one
when updates come along.)
What do others do?
Gentoo. My longest running machine is 4 years this Thanksgiving. I
just run emerge -pvDuN once or twice a year and it goes on chugging
along. My 78 year old dad doesn't even know an upgrade has happened
unless Evolution or Firefox change the way they look.
