    if use alsa_cards_hdsp || use alsa_cards_hdspm; then
        ALSA_TOOLS=3D"${ALSA_TOOLS} hdsploader"
        use fltk && ALSA_TOOLS=3D"${ALSA_TOOLS} hdspconf hdspmixer"
    fi

After that it showed up and functions.

I think other ebuilds are more sophisticated about telling you that
you need to turn on certain flags. This one apparently doesn't do
that.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Mark
