Package: alsa-base
Version: 0.9.4-1
Severity: wishlist
The alsa-base script works really well for the most part to select the
cards to load. However, when loading modules like the sb16 or ad1848
ISA non-PNP cards that need resources specified like port=0xfoo,
irq=foo, dma1=foo, these options are not provided through the debconf
configuration, and the user receives nothing more than a "alsa modules
loading failed" message.
1) Perhaps provide a more descriptive error messages when the init
script fails, and don't make it return -1 and cause dpkg to return
failure if the module only needed some options. (Say "Sorry, you must
provide options in /etc/modutils/alsa before the init script will
operate", or something similar, instead of a generic non-descriptive
failure message.)
2) Otherwise, make the debconf script generate an options line for each
module that the user asks to give module options on.

Changes:
alsa-driver (1.0.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Steve Kowalik:
- Actually do some work on this package!
- Check for the presence of either devfs or udev before creating device
nodes in alsa-base's postinst. (Closes: #243876)
- Rewrite the init script to not load modules. Loading modules is now
the responsibility of the user, or hotplug.
(Closes: #195516, #203491, #210440, #232380, #237003, #237452, #240594)
(Closes: #244068, #245783)
- Stop alsa-base depending on lsof and procps.
- Change the description for alsa-base to no longer mention module
loading.
- Rewrite the debconf-age for alsa-base:
+ Stop asking which modules to load. (Closes: #199739, #218655)
+ Only ask one question about saving mixer settings, in the style of
setserial.
+ This means we can stop doing vile things to the debconf templates in
debian/rules.
+ This also means that alsa can restore on bootup, and not save on
shutdown. (Closes: #191501, #232854)
- Remove the files under /etc/alsa/modutils, and the symlinks
into /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils.
- Provide an alsa-base file under /etc/modprobe.d and /etc/modutils
which will load the OSS compatibility modules.
(Closes: #229486, #240594)
- Blacklist (for hotplug) and skip (for discover) the OSS sound modules.
Note that we can include the blacklist automatically for hotplug, but
discover doesn't contain the infrastructure for that, so the file for
discover is in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base.
(Closes: #238278, #238694, #240125, #242720)
- Due to the fact that the init script no longer touches modules, this
script has been gutted to a shadow of its former self. (Closes: #238994)
- Stop using install -d so liberally in debian/rules.
- Rename debian/po/no.po to debian/po/nb.po.
- Correct typo in debian/po/fr.po. (Closes: #245031) (thanks,
Pierre Machard)
- Remove debian/alsa-path, I can't see anything at all that references it.
* Unreleased and untested.
