Re: [proaudio] Importing ladi overlay to proaudio overlay

[Karl Lindén <spray.sucks@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think a better solution is renaming media-sound/lash to
media-sound/lash-real and create a "virtual" package media-sound/lash
that depends on either media-sound/lash-real or media-sound/ladish.
This is good because we don't need to categorise them as libraries.

We should also keep the real virtual virtual/liblash and use it in new
ebuilds because I think it is a cleaner solution. This can maybe be
adopted by portage in the future. That would be great, but I don't
think it's something that will happen in the near future.

Regards,
Karl
