[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#448263: alsa-source: artsd fails to start with ALSA 1.0.15 and sound has to be unmuted in kde

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: alsa-source
Version: 1.0.15-1
Severity: normal


I compiled alsa-source 1.0.15 as I have done so for earlier ALSA 
versions. With alsa-driver 1.0.15, KDE's artsd fails to start and I have 
to unmute the mixer settings in kmix (ie sound doesn't work 
automatically on logging in to kde but must be enabled manually).
