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.

Thanks for the report.

It is not necessary to use alsaconf to install sound.  alsaconf is only
useful these days as a diagnostic tool.

Alsaconf will probably be removed from the package in the future.
