[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#663715: lib32asound2-plugins no longer available

IMHO this is fixed by now: The package is now installable in a foreign-
architecture. So, it can be installed like this
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install --no-install-recommends libasound2-plugins:i386
(if you are unlucky, apt-get will choose the wrong version of libjack: THe 
same version must be installed for both architectures)

Kind regards,
Ralf
