[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#422805: alsa-utils: init script sleeps without explanation

[Josh Triplett]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.13-2
Severity: normal

/etc/init.d/alsa-utils contains:
> store_levels()
> {
>         CARD="$1"
>         [ "$1" = all ] && CARD=""
>         if MSG="$(alsactl store $CARD 2>&1)" ; then
>                 sleep 1
>                 return 0

Does the init script really need to sleep here?  If so, could you please put
in a comment explaining why the sleep needs to happen?  If not, could you
please remove the sleep?

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
