Bug#783349: libaudio-mixer-perl: autopkgtest failure: stderr output (Error opening /dev/mixer)

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libaudio-mixer-perl
Version: 0.7-6

This package is failing its autopkgtest suite on ci.debian.net.

  adt-run [13:30:45]: test command1: /usr/share/pkg-perl-autopkgtest/runner build-deps
  adt-run [13:30:45]: test command1: [-----------------------
  Nothing to prove, skipping.

The buildd logs show the same behaviour, although messages to stderr
aren't fatal there.

Fiddling with /dev/mixer doesn't seem like something that our package
builds should be doing, perhaps we just need to skip the test suite
altogether?
