FWIW, for me; app-emulation/virtualbox-6.1.2::gentoo was built with the following: USE="alsa opengl opus pam pulseaudio qt5 sdk udev -debug -doc -dtrace -headless -java -libressl -lvm -pax_kernel -python -vboxwebsrv -vnc" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6 -python2_7 -python3_7 -python3_8" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6 -python3_7 -python3_8" So i can use ALSA or pulse.
