Package: pulseaudio-utils
Version: 16.1+dfsg1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in /usr/bin/padsp the LIB variable doesn't reach the LD_PRELOAD. it should be \$LIB instead of \\$$LIB

If i'm trying to run it normally i'm getting
padsp ls
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/\2290LIB/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

it's in two places here

if [ x"$LD_PRELOAD" = x ] ; then
   LD_PRELOAD="/usr/\\$$LIB/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so"
else
   LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD /usr/\\$$LIB/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so"
fi
