[Pkg-alsa-devel] aoss not setting LD_PRELOAD correctly (with solution)

[Aaron McDaid]

Hi,
I've had to edit /usr/bin/aoss to get it to work correctly. In fact,
I'm surprised it works for anybody!

When I run
  aoss env | grep LD_PR
I get
  LD_PRELOAD=/usr/$LIB/libaoss.so
However, it should output something like this instead
  LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libaoss.so


In order to get this correct LD_PRELOAD, I edited /usr/bin/aoss like so.
I simply removed the backslash from in front of $LIB and define LIB on
the previous line. I'm surprised that aoss works for anybody!
