[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#615941: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf doesn't blacklist pcspkr despite the comment saying so

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.23+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

$ tail -n 4 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
# Comment this entry in order to load snd-pcsp driver
blacklist snd-pcsp
# Comment this entry in order to load pcspkr driver
$ 

So there'se a comment referring to a non-existing entry. Additionnaly I
noticed that I hear again the annoying pcspkr beep since a few days... I
don't know why and while looking into this I found this.

Maybe it's related, maybe not. I managed to turn it off by muting the
"beep" channel within the mixer.
