[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#376241: option "None" to disable sound support

[Robert Millan]

Package: linux-sound-base
Version: 1.0.11-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Would be nice if you could disable both ALSA and OSS sound support in the
debconf template.  This is useful for servers that load a bunch of drivers
for their integrated sound card and none of this is ever used.

Patch attached.
