[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#322222: alsa-base: alsactl should only restore the known cards

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.9b-2
Severity: minor

Servus,

alsactl tries to restore the configuration of all cards by searching for
all possible files in /dev/snd/. This cause a very long delay on a 200MHz
CPU at boottime. IMO "alsactl restore" should only restore the
configuration of the cards named in /v/l/alsa/asound.state.

Bye, Jörg.
