Hi!
I've been using multilib, too. But i ran into problems because the
emul-linux-sound package is outdated. So it was impossible to connect
wine to jack. I decided to use the multilib overlay. There is now a
branch multilib-portage. It's possible to build your entire system with
32 bit libs. The only drawback is that i can't compile ardour with vst
support.
best regrads,
björn
