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...

Thanks in advance,
Mark
