[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#800342: first mount /var, then write to it

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

OK I got sound back, via first fixing my
Bug#802847: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR warnings
problem, then installing pulseaudio and pavucontrol and alsa-utils.
After fiddling as much as I could with pavucontrol I then turned to
alsamixer, where as non-root I turned up the single pulseaudio control. And voila,
speaker-test finally made real sounds!

And indeed the whole kaboodle even lasts through reboots!

However this is still no excuse for trying to read / write to /var
before it is mounted or after it is unmounted!
