[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#381658: After installing alsa-utils, sound no longer works

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.11-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

After installing alsa-utils, I can no longer get sound with esd (the
only device that was working). Indeed, when using "ogg123 -d esd" or
"mpg123 -o esd", I get the error:

/dev/dsp: No such device

If I use no such option, I get:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
ALSA snd_pcm_open error: No such device
Error: Cannot open device alsa09.

as before.
