ALSA is no longer in magic so that won't work.

Check out this post, viewtopic.php?t=3626&highlight=fix+alsa

I'd ignore that post (its mostly old information that led to me fixing it properly). Long story short, run magic.. then run "emerge alsa-driver-xbox". That should have you fixed.

hmm... I saw that you said you made a patch but I didn't see it in the patch list so I assumed that it still wasn't up.

If that post is outdated you might want to de-stickey it or add an update to the end of it.

Hehe, I know it was the first place I looked.

I never stickied it in the first place

That you didn't, I always saw it towards the top there so I just assumed.
