[Pkg-alsa-devel] Help with alsa-base

[Jordi Mallach]

Hi Elimar & others.

I have done a (poor) job of killing alsa-driver & alsa-modules:

- copied alsa-driver, which is now obsolete, to alsa-base
- DESTROYED anything related to alsa-drivers or compiling
- removed a few other bits and pieces

In particular:

1) dropped apm support. If anyone things this is wrong, let's discuss it
and restore it if needed.

2) dropped snddevices entirely. why were we doing this still?

3) triaged a few bugs, but there's a LOT more to go over. I really would
appreciate help with this.

4) wondered about /etc/default/alsa. With apm gone, does it make any
sense? If it still does, what the hell is this?

        # Decide which conf file to read
        conf_file=""
        if [ -f /etc/default/alsa ] ; then
                conf_file=/etc/default/alsa
        elif [ -f /usr/share/alsa-base/alsa.default ] ; then
                conf_file=/usr/share/alsa-base/alsa.default
        else
                report_error "No configuration file found"
                exit 1
        fi

Why do we have TWO default files?

5) I believe we still need ALSA-module-list and OSS-module-list, but do we
need ALSA-card-list?

debian/rules needs further cleaning and probably doesn't work right now,
but enough is enough for now. Feel free to improve.
