exactly that. it adds another source of PORTDIR_OVERLAY variables to
the main make.conf, which with the default settings will
be /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf

Great. I followed the instructions and everything seems to have been
installed. I now see a pro-audio overlay directory in
/usr/portage/local/layman:

lightning ~ # ls -al /usr/portage/local/layman/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 May 14 16:23 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root  4096 May 14 16:22 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 11441 May 14 16:22 cache.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    71 May 14 16:23 make.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   399 May 14 16:23 overlays.xml
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root  4096 May 14 16:22 pro-audio
lightning ~ #

However, when I tried looking for packages in the overlay I didn't find them:

lightning ~ # eix preamp

Found 0 matches
lightning ~ # eix aeolus

Found 0 matches
lightning ~ # eix whysynth

Found 0 matches
lightning ~ #

I did try an eix-sync but that didn't help. Sorry if I missed some
obvious step but I've been over this a couple  of times and don't see
it.

BTW - I'm on an AMD64 machine. Does this overlay support AMD64? Hope so...

Some ebuilds are proved to work for amd64. But I've have no amd64 to test any package
so I depend on user reports.

So If anyone get a package compiled and seems to run fine, please report here so we can
add those keywords to the ebuilds.

howto test a not yet amd64 keyworded ebuild:

$ emerge app-portage/gentoolkit-dev
$ ekeyword amd64 /path/to/your.ebuild
$ ebuild /path/to/your.ebuild digest

# emerge your ebuild
# report if it works or not, if not post errorlogs

short list of apps reported to run fine on amd64
