Steps to reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/alsasound stop (make sure that the modules are not loaded) 2. rm /lib/modules/<kernel>/alsa-driver/acore/snd.ko 3. /etc/init.d/alsasound start 4. /etc/init.d/alsasound status Behaviour: It gives a bunch of errors as expected but alsasounds status still reports alsasound as started but it is most certain that sound is not working. Expected: When one of the modules is missing the init script should stop executing and report failure with for example return 1. betelgeuse@gentoo.org 2006-09-30 11:15:15 0000 Still present in alsa-utils-1.0.12 flameeyes@gentoo.org 2006-10-01 21:54:03 0000 The problem is that one might be using built-in static support for ALSA, which would break if we check modules presence. flameeyes@gentoo.org 2007-02-18 14:00:54 0000 I've fixed it in 1.0.14_rc2-r1 without revbump, as I just added it yesterday, and this is a minor problem anyway.
