[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#620510: alsa-firmware-loaders: The file tascam_fw does not work due to wrong parameters

[Simone Rossetto]

Package: alsa-firmware-loaders
Version: 1.0.23-3+b1
Severity: important


The file /lib/udev/tascam_fw tries to load the first-stage firmware for the
soundcard but it does not work. The syslog reports something like this
"load usx2yloader/us122fw.ihx for 1604/8006/100 to /proc/bus/usb/004/005"
but the path /proc/bus/usb is empty.

If the source file usx2yloader/tascam_fw.in is edited substituting $DEVNAME
to $DEVICE and adding the parameter "-D $DEVNAME" at the end of line 58, the
first-stage firmware is correcly loaded into the soundcard and the log reports
/dev/bus/usb instead of /proc/bus/usb.

Attached to this bug report my patch for the source file.
