[Pkg-alsa-devel] Debian Sid - Alsa broken

[Milomak]

I believe the problem is related to bug
#912755 <912755 at bugs.debian.org>
$ alsamixer
ALSA lib conf.c:3652:(config_file_open) cannot access file
/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf

The link is broken in /etc/alsa/conf.d/ after both running apt reinstall
and also purging then installing the package again

# aptitude purge libasound2-plugins

# ls -lah /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf': No such
file or directory

# rm -rfv  /var/cache/apt/archives/libasound2-plugins_1.1.8-1_amd64.deb
removed '/var/cache/apt/archives/libasound2-plugins_1.1.8-1_amd64.deb'

# apt install libasound2-plugins

# ls -lah /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.confls: cannot access
'/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf': No such file or directory

$ alsamixer
ALSA lib conf.c:3652:(config_file_open) cannot access file
/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
ALSA lib conf.c:3572:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load
returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:4026:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing
