Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Right after alsa modules are inserted, /etc/init.d/alsa attempts to
restore the mixer settings.

This usually doesn't leave enough time for udev to create the relevant
entries under /dev, which results in an error:

  Starting ALSA (version 1.0.4rc2): intel8x0.
  Restoring ALSA mixer settings ... failed:
	 You may want to run 'alsactl restore' manually to view any errors.

I would suggest pausing for 1 second before restoring the mixer
settings.

Regards,

Hugo
