[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#320159: alsa-utils: alsaconf cannot be utilised unattented in any way shape or form

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.8-2
Severity: normal


am working with the http://hands.com/d-i debian unattended installer.

it is not possible to install debian with sound because alsaconf
uses "dialog".

am going to give serious thought to an abortional hack which replaces
dialog temporarily for the duration of the usage of alsaconf.
