[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#939690: libasound2-plugins:amd64: HDMI plugin missing

[Simon Richter]

Package: libasound2-plugins
Version: 1.1.8-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

aplay -L reports that I have two HDMI audio channels:

hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1
    HDMI Audio Output

That is indeed correct, but trying to use them I end up with

alsa-lib: dlmisc.c:287:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_hdmi.so ((null):
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_hdmi.so: cannot
  open shared object file: No such file or directory)

It seems the plugin is missing here. The normal audio device works in some
configurations, but has no information on the capabilities of the connected
device.
