Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.6a-8
Severity: normal

Installing /etc/dev.d/sound/alsa-base.dev is not such a great idea,
because the script will be run for every sound device created, which
are a large number.
So, I propose installing the attached script as
/etc/dev.d/snd/controlC0/alsa-base.dev instead.
/etc/dev.d/snd/controlC[0-4]/alsa-base.dev would be symlinks to it.

BTW, there is still the issue of /var/lib/alsa/asound.state not being
on the root file system and so not being available at the time dev.d
scripts are usually run. Probably, at least, alsactl should use
/etc/alsa/asound.state (which may be a symlink to the /var file by
default, I will leave this to your taste).

Please also do not install a file in /etc/udev/permissions.d/, there is
no reason to move permissions data from udev to other packages.
