[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#845090: /usr/bin/alsamixer: alsamixer -c0 starts pulseaudio

[Juha Jäykkä]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/alsamixer

Dear Maintainer,

Running "alsamixer -c0" in order to adjust the ALSA mixer levels causes
pulseaudio daemon to start. This is not just wrong and unexpected, but
also causes unwanted side-effects in other programs, like mixer levels
changing and other programs suddenly defaulting to using pa.

Cheers,
Juha
