Bug#661095: pulseaudio: pulse-alsa.conf show is not a compound

[Miguel Colon]

Hello:

Just to add some information about this:

>> They don't provide further details so I downloaded a few versions of
>> their pulseaudio package and compared the configuration files. The older
>> Ubuntu versions of pulseaudio have the same broken pulse-alsa.conf file
>> as Sid does. The newest version has this instead:
<snip>
>> The new configuration file seems to solve the problem on my Sid system.

>Probably making the same change as was done in Ubuntu would be reasonable.

The file included in Ubuntu is basically the file
"99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example" included in the package
libasound2-plugins and installed at
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example

but they use the description from the old pulse-alsa.conf file and
still included in the Debian package.

I have used for several years the attached file saved as ~/.asoundrc
since pulseaudio was giving me trouble long ago. It is basically
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example

both in 1 file.  I think I first read the explanation for each file
from http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ALSAApplications when
I first used the attached file.

The 50-pulseaudio.conf part is redundant since it just add a name
therefore using only the 99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example file as
used in Ubuntu should be fine too.

Hope this helps,
Miguel
