[gentoo-user] alsa-plugins emerge failure

coreutils, which I promise never ever to do again<G>. Now that I have
things working again, and revdep-rebuild says I'm OK. I went back and
re-ran "emerge --ask --deep --update --world". It's dieing on the last
item, namely alsa-plugins. Here is the message and I've also attached
the config.log file as directed below...

libasound comes from package alsa-lib. So, what's the output from these
commands (assuming you have eix installed):
eix alsa-lib
eix alsa-plugins
emerge --info
I don't have alsa-plugins myself and have never needed it. Are you sure
you need it?

Thanks for the pointer to eix. I did the spelunking you suggested,
and more. First item is that I re-emerged alsa-lib, and got the
following warning...
* Messages for package media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.16:
* You haven't selected _any_ PCM plugins. Either you set it to
* something like the default
* (which is being set in the profile UNLESS you unset them) or alsa
* based applications
* are going to *misbehave* !
Note that after running into some "helpful defaults" a few years ago
(*hack* *kaff* IPV6 *hack* *kaff*) I ended up inserting "-*" at the
beginning of my USE variable. I have quite a bit of stuff in the USE
variable, but it's there only because it provides features I want/need
or because an app I want/need complains about missing something. Is
this one of those cases? I should probably solve this first.
About alsa-plugins... is it required for MP3 or streaming MP3? If
not I'll consider unmerging it.
