I've heard that it doesn't work on multilib systems.

As long as it works with hd-audio I'll be happy. Guess I'll have to test it.
Side question... Some people seem to consider multilib to be anathema, along with *kit, etc. I can see the problems with *kit, but I'm not quite sure what the problem is with multilib, or how you run legacy 32-bit software (Notably under WINE) without it. Or maybe I'm confusing what multilib really is. I don't have the no-multilib profile, and I generally wind up with a bunch of emul-linux-x86-* packages installed.

| depontius, as you have skype installed that means you have multilib |

Heads up, the first posting was edited: You do no longer have to mess with pulseaudio at all; just install skype[apulse]
(On amd64 you currently still have to unmask some USE-flags and switch to ABI_X86="32" instead of emul-libs, but these things are discussed in separate threads:
All you need is already in the portage main tree, just partially masked.) |

I don't plan to remove it.
It's hard to imagine that apulse does not work with some cards: AFAIK it just "translates" all requests into alsa requests, so if a card is supported by alsa it should immediately be supported by apulse, shouldn't it? Maybe it is another problem than your card, e.g. the compile flags (which was the problem in my case: Surprisingly, apulse compiles fine with -flto but does not work with skype if compiled in this way) |

Interesting. Can you perhaps provide a link which contains a more detailed explanation? I looked into the closed isues of the apulse project on github, but couldn't find anything related. |

I can, but it's russian.
Shortly, my E-MU 0404 USB doesn't work properly in Skype when apulse is used. |

I wonder if this patch is relevant; looks like it's meant for distro usage, since they would tend not to use bundled headers.
This one allows you to use envvars to select the playback and/or capture card, rather than using "default" for both, unconditionally.
All in all, looks quite nice; definitely much nicer than pulsefail, afaic. |

| apulse works well here. While I'm waiting for multilib to become stable and usable, I'm running it in a 32-bit chroot jail. |

This is not working for me. I can't stand pulseaudio so I was very happy to try apulse. However, I keep getting the same error messages that I don't understand:
| Code: | emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "media-libs/alsa-lib[abi_x86_32(-)]".
(dependency required by "media-sound/apulse-0.1.2-r1[abi_x86_32]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "net-im/skype-4.3.0.37-r2[apulse]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "skype" [argument])
|
I have this in package.use:
| Code: | net-im/skype apulse
media-sound/apulse abi_x86_32
media-libs/alsa-lib abi_x86_32
|
but I still get the abi_x86_32 message with alsa-lib. I even tried this:
| Code: | | ABI_X86="32 64" emerge -pv alsa-lib |
but it says: | Code: | [ebuild R ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.28 USE="python -alisp -debug -doc" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" 0 kB
|
Can't figure out how to build alsa-lib with the 32-bit ABI. Anyone have an idea? |

When I do this I get this message:
| Code: | | --- EAPI '0' does not support 'use.stable.mask': '/etc/portage/profile/use.stable.mask' |
I don't get this. The alsa-lib ebuild states EAPI=5. Why does it think it's EAPI=0? |

I don't have /etc/portage/profile - did you have it previously with a different default, or is "base install" not ready to do this particular trick?

Oops. Still not perfect. emul-linux-x86-soundlibs conflicts with apulse, but em...soundlibs is required by em...medialibs which is required by em...qtlibs which is required by skype, which is the package I want to run in the first place.
| Code: | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "~app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-20140508" have been masked.

My impression is that the emul-linux-x86-* stuff is being replaced by a full multilib, and things get built for both amd64 and x86. Right now we really only build for amd64, and the x86 is supplied by emul-linux-x86-*. They've also changed skype to "-r2" which requires the new multilib, not the old emul-linux-x86-* stuff.

There was just an -r3 release which again fixed some depedencies.
The ony emul-* which you really need is qtlibs, but you have to mark a lot of packages ABI_X86=32 and probably also have to unmask some packages.
Here is my current files for unmasking (no gurantee for completeness, since I have also unmasked some packages for other reasons):
| /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/multilib wrote: | ~media-libs/fontconfig-2.10.93
~x11-libs/cairo-1.12.16
~x11-libs/libSM-1.2.2 |
And here is my file for setting multilib-related USE. Perhaps you do not need all of these if you do not run acroread or wine (or run wine only with fewer USE-Flags than me):

There might be a neater solution around the corner.
MS are making Skype a webapp to work in chrome,FF ...
