How can I emerge an specific version on software? I'm experiencing well-known problem with alsa0.9, so Ï've decided (after reading forums at Gentoo) to emerge alsa0.5.12. But I'm unable to find out how :)
So, is here any general way, how emerge specific version, or not? In case of NO, how should I install alsa0.5.12? Should I do it mannally? Thanks

Just to make sure. I am supposed to write something like

emerge alsa-driver-0.5.12.ebuild

and the exact name of ebuild I can get by

emerge search alsa-driver

Do I understand it in correct way?[/i]

think this works better
Code:
emerge \<alsa-driver-0.8
or
emerge \=alsa-driver-0.5.12a
