[Pkg-alsa-devel] Having ALSA work properly at the end of a d-i install?

I don't have all answers yet as the box is at work. I'll complete this
tomorrow...

from memory i180_audio....

Well, the thing which comes with the desktop task. I'll check tomorrow

2.6.8. My auto installs are made with 2.6 kernel flavours, not the
default 2.4

None that I asked for.

Well, I use what d-i uses : discover1 and hotplug. I suspected some
things related to hotplug.

Well, it can be part of my automagic box various tests, yes.
