[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#658760: alsactl -h advertises non-existent command "names"

[Yann Dirson]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.24.2-4
Severity: normal

# alsactl -h
Usage: alsactl <options> command

[...]

Available commands:
  store   <card #> save current driver setup for one or each soundcards
                   to configuration file
  restore <card #> load current driver setup for one or each soundcards
                   from configuration file
  init    <card #> initialize driver to a default state
  names   <card #> dump information about all the known present (sub-)devices
                   into configuration file (DEPRECATED)


Not only that command is deprecated, but it appears it does not exist
any more.
