   My make.conf does not contain this line and ALSA works. The only alsa   
   line I have, is ALSA_CARDS="ens1371 virmidi".

   What version of sys-apps/portage do you have? I'm using portage-2.1.3.19   
   and I get different output:   
      
   [ebuild   R   ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1  USE="midi -alisp -debug   
   -doc" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks   
   ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm" 0 kB   
      
   Mayby your prtage is to old? Just a guess. Does the output of "emerge   
   --info --verbose | grep USE_EXPAND" show ALSA_CARDS and   
   ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS? And "emerge --info | grep ALSA" should show them too,   
   in the line with the use flags.
