[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#269214: /etc/default/alsa: Outdated comment re: alsactl_store_on_shutdown

[Thomas Hood]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.5a-3
Severity: minor

I freshly installed alsa-base.  /etc/default/alsa contains this comment:

# Set as false if you don't want the init script running
# 'alsactl store' on shutdown.
alsactl_store_on_shutdown=true

On reading /etc/init.d/alsa I discover that in fact I have to set this
string to "never autosave" in order to prevent the initscript from 
running "alsactl store".
