Hello Przemek,

	I am willing to try the wsoundserver app out if I can just figure how
Gentoo deals with this masking bit in portage.
I only just started playing with Gentoo so I will have to figure it out.

They way they use this masking and keywords seems so overly complicated,
especially after using FreeBSD and ports for so long.

				Thanks
