[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#369478: libasound2: Looking for non-existing files/dirs

[Anders K. Madsen]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.11-6
Severity: critical

After upgrading to 1.0.11-6 everything having to do with sound started 
failing hard. E.g. alsamixer:

$ alsamixer
ALSA lib control.c:816:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or 
directory

strace revealed the following:
stat64("/home/jordi/svn/pkg-alsa/trunk/build-area/alsa-lib-1.0.11//share/alsa/alsa.conf", 
0xaff1030c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

A temporary fix is to create the above path and put a symlink to 
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf there. It worked for me at least...

Best,
	Madsen
