[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#294109: alsa-base should blacklist cs461x kernel module for hotplug and discover

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.8-4
Severity: normal


since alsa-base already blacklists cs46xx for both hotplug and
discover, it should also blacklist cs461x.  Please add:

  cs461x

to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base and add

  skip cs461x

to /etc/discover.d/alsa-base


Rationale:

i have a thinkpad T20.

alsa works fine, but since i switched to kernel 2.6.10, i've had to go
in and muck around with the module loading because the cs461x module
was getting loaded by hotplug (i'm not running discover).  if cs461x
is loaded (in connection to the gameport module?), snd-cs46xx won't
have access to the hardware like it should.
