hmmm.. well whenever i really build this manually ( ./configure --with-
cards=hda-intel && make && sudo make install)  i can't load the modules, 
because i get:
[ 1526.091642] snd: Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special                                                          
[ 1526.092374] snd: Unknown symbol register_sound_special_device  

however when i edited the gentoo-ebuild to use your snapshot, i'm able to 
compile and load the driver but get said error. 

do you have an idea why i'm getting this Unknown symbol -error?  should i 
build alsa-headers myself as well? right now that's built via gentoo-ebuild.

i'll try to copy the ebuild instructions, step by step until i get it running 
manually.
