[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1013276: Alsa clients using the wrong plugin if pulseaudio is installed

[Sedat Dilek]

Here on KDE/Plasma v5.25.4 (Wayland) it was sufficient just to remove
/etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf only;

root# LC_ALL=C ll /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf
/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
ls: cannot access '/etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jul  6 04:20
/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf ->
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf

Looks like the config-files have different origin:

root# dpkg -S /etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
/etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf
libasound2-plugins:amd64: /etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
pulseaudio: /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulse.conf

Maybe, talk with the Debian pulseaudio?

***** Might be a different issue (after switching to pipewire/0.3.58-1):

BTW, in my KDE audio-settings I do NOT see a microphone.

Same with Webcam:

root# v4l2-ctl --list-devices

WebCam SC-13HDL11431N: WebCam S (usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.4):
       /dev/video0
       /dev/video1
       /dev/media0

$ cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0

^^ No picture.
