[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#232942: alsa-source: Added drivers in debconf cardlist fail to build

[Kai Weber]

Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.2c-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

I tried using the added drivers for bt87x (Bt878/Bt879 TV card audio).
I get the following (manual line break):

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source
    Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at \
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/alsa-source.config line 118, <STDIN> line 7.

and in /etc/alsa/alsa-source.conf

    ifndef ALSA_CARDS
    ALSA_CARDS="Bt878/Bt879 TV cards, emu10k1"
    endif

which fails while compiling:

    checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... \
    Unknown soundcard Bt878/Bt879, exiting!
