[PD] PD + Gentoo

	On my Gentoo box it breaks on other things. It needs a lot of source adjustment but it is
finally working. I could send you patches but gcc is not a problem here.

	I've tried cvs version. It has some quirks with jack so I gave up.

	There is a catch. I don't know how much of ebuild syntax you know, but some USE flags
make some packages not to compile part of the program. For example, if you don't have
"encode" in use flags when compiling mplayer, you will not have mencoder. Maybe, that's
the problem, or it is in a different package. I've never needed hdsp so I really don't
know what that is. Alsaconfig is maybe something that Gentoo doesn't need. I mean, maybe
it has different procedure of configuring alsa. For my system, everything I need to do is
to enable alsa on boot runlevel. So .... what does alsaconfig actually do?
