[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#425123: alsaconf not very smart with more than one soundcard

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.13-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Alsaconf doesn't behave very smart when it detects more than one card.
You can select one of the found cards and it will become the *only* card
mentioned in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.

The problem is, even with index=0 set, it happens that one of the other
cards becomes the system default.

I think it would be smarter to insert all found cards in
/etc/modprobe.d/sound and set the one with index=0 the user wishes to
use as default.


Cheers,

Bastian
