[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#611533: alsa-base: version issue: kernel provides 1.0.21 drivers, alsa is 1.0.23

[brice.brice+linux at gmail.com]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

This mutes some applications (vlc, flash plugin, mplayer, etc.)
I fixed by compiling my own module:
m-a a-i alsa
