[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#426759: alsa-base: /etc/init.d/alsa has no 'start' or 'stop'

[Eldon Koyle]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.14-1
Followup-For: Bug #426759

/etc/init.d/alsa does not support 'start' or 'stop'.  I noticed this
after running alsaconf which appears to run '/etc/init.d/alsa start'
after finishing its configuration.

esk-tp2:/proc/acpi# /etc/init.d/alsa start
Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
esk-tp2:/proc/acpi# grep start\\\|stop /etc/init.d/alsa
esk-tp2:/proc/acpi#
