Default ALSA works for me, as long as I set the volume up.
A suggestion may be that you don't have the right sound driver compiled
in your kernel, then the right configuration (in Linux, not setting the
volume in ALSA above zero is a cliche).
The RTFM's should be approached in this order, first Google the
gentoo.org website, then gentoo-wiki, then the web itself for exact
error messages, then try the #gentoo* chatrooms on freenet. I've always
landed an answer on one or another, and there's just more expertise out
there than on the PLUG list. I even managed to break portage once at
2am while drunk, and got it back on track with help from the chat rooms
to continue my emerge -e world. (I was doing something extreme. I
never learned how to re-link gcc when it updates, so everything was
emerged with a very old gcc, not to mention non-athlon t-bird settings,
so I had to recompile everything. I didn't start this procedure while
drunk, it just got interrupted while I was drunk 8).
The safe flags can be found here:

I've never debugged sound to a large degree, so I have no suggestions
other than the research order.
I'm trying compiles with -Os. I'm thinking, what's faster, a loop
in-cache which jumps and misses a few cycles in a jump, or a 1000-time
unrolled loop which always misses cache? I have no evidence, but hey I
can do it, so I do :).
