Overall it is very useful, containing both packages that are missing
from the main portage tree and more recent versions of existing
packages. There are several very nice apps I had not heard of before,
such as aeolus, the pipe organ emulator.
One thing I have found I have needed to do has been to manually
download some of the tarballs to /usr/portage/distfiles, and then to
delete some of the digests and manifests
please be more specific which downloads fail so I can fix them
and rebuild them (using "ebuild packagename-1.2.3 manifest digest")
in order to generate new checksums. In one case (I think it was the
vst sdk) I had to roll my own tarball in place of the one one of the
ebuilds was unable to download. There were one or two other ebuild
tweaks I had to do as well. So not problem free, but very useful
nonetheless.

In the case of vst-sdk your forced to download it manually because we
are not allowed to
distribute it (look at its license)
I've fixed/changed the the ebuild a bit to point that out
I'm not sure what to do about the lash use flag. it conflicts with
ladcca in the gentoo
please read 00-OVERLAY-INFO:
http://svnweb.tuxfamily.org/filedetails.php?repname=proaudio+%28ckpp%29&path=%2F00-OVERLAY-INFO
portage tree. that's fine i guess, since i never got ladcca working
(for lack of trying). Also i found myself forced to upgrade gcc from
3.3 to 3.4, and the revdep-rebuild process choked at almost every
package from the overlay. So i commented it (the overlay) out of
etc/make.conf, and still got complaints. i ended up basically un
installing all of the overlay packages and then commenting out the
overlay and revdep-rebuild, then uncomment it and emerge -uDN world. I
guess this would be better suited for the forums... but i agree that
the overlay is not problem free.
