[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#540254: alsa-utils: /etc/init.d/alsa-util Ctrl-D's the boot process

[Karsten Hilbert]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.20-2
Severity: serious
Justification: stops machine boot

This happens during boot and triggers a stop asking for the root
password for maintenance or Ctlr-D to continue rebooting anyway:

merkur:~# /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Shutting down ALSA...done.
Setting up ALSA...warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'Unknown hardware: "SI7018" "SigmaTel STAC9700,83,84,Silicon Laboratory Si3036,8 rev 1" "AC97a:83847600 AC97m:53494c21" "0x1043" "0x1453"

/usr/share/alsa/init/default:52: missing closing brace for format
/usr/share/alsa/init/default:52: error parsing CTL attribute
/usr/share/alsa/init/default:52: invalid rule'...done.

This is the relevant section in /usr/share/alsa/init/default:

CTL{reset}="mixer"
CTL{name}="Headphone Playback Volume",PROGRAM=="__ctl_search",GOTO="headphone0_end"
# if master volume control is present, turn headphone volume to max
ENV{has_pmaster_vol}=="true",CTL{values}="0dB",RESULT=="0",GOTO="headphone0_end"
ENV{has_pmaster_vol}=="true",CTL{values)="100%",GOTO="headphone0_end"
CTL{values}="$env{pvolume}",RESULT!="0",CTL{values}="$env{ppercent}"
LABEL="headphone0_end"
CTL{name}="Headphone Playback Switch",PROGRAM=="__ctl_search", \
  CTL{values}="on"


Line 51 is the first one starting with ENV.
