Don't know if this will help, but I noticed that UT/Quake3 (and perhaps others), come with their own (out-of-date, v1.2) precompiled libsdl. I make a point of renaming that file, then creating a symlink with the same name that points to your emerged libsdl in /usr/lib. I strongly suspect that will work, provided you had the "alsa" flag set when you emerged libsdl. You'll probably get better 3D too and everything will be faster thanks to your nice optimisations :-)
