SDL Gentoo

[Crymson]

Ok, so I've been trying to figure out a way to force FCE Ultra and SNES9X to use SDL for sound, instead of something else.

I got the idea from the MAME HOWTO posted earlier. They had to take out the sound_auto in the conf file and make it sound_sdl.

Now, are there any special SDL packages in the gentoo portage tree that I'd need to install?

I added SDL to my USE flags, and re-emerged FCEU and SNES9X - but it isn't working. Might I have to completely re-emerge Gnome or whatever?

I don't know a whole lot about SDL, but I would think that both FCEU and SNES9X would support it. It's just a matter of getting rid of whatever it's trying to use instead (oss, or AS... whatever it is)

Any thoughts on this? The PS3 seems to work great with SDL sound.

Try using/emerging libsdl if it isn't there already. That's the SDL package. Nothing else apart from that.
