[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#451244: alsa-utils: init script should call alsactl restore with -F option

[Frans Pop]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.15-1
Severity: minor

In response to a kernel bug report where I mentioned that I got some
errors on boot when switching from a 2.6.23 to a 2.6.24-rc kernel, an
upstream alsa developer indicated that those errors could be avoided by
using the -F option in the init scripts.
The errors were because of changes in the available controls.

Please consider adding that option in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils:
-	if MSG="$(alsactl restore $CARD 2>&1 >/dev/null)" && [ ! "$MSG"	] ; then
+	if MSG="$(alsactl -F restore $CARD 2>&1 >/dev/null)" && [ ! "$MSG"	] ; then
