I get the following output when booting my system when alsasound starts, as well as every time I manually start/stop/restart the alsasound initscript: * * * alsactl: set_control:1300: incompatible field type for control #29 * * * Using alsa-utils and alsa-lib 1.0.16; the error was not present in alsa-lib/alsa-utils version 1.0.14. The error is possibly harmless, as sound still works so far as I can tell.

I'm experiencing the same issue Josh reports here, with 1.0.16 alsa-lib and -utils. (Technically, the ~amd64 branches--r1 and r2 respectively--and with -lib patched for bug 218641, but details.)

Sorry that this fell on the floor Josh. Could you see whether it's any better with 1.0.19 please?
(In reply to comment #2) > Sorry that this fell on the floor Josh. Could you see whether it's any better > with 1.0.19 please? 1.0.19 ain't in the tree . . . I'm on 1.0.17 now and can reboot to test. Did you mean .18?
It's in the tree but was only recently added. look harder :)
(In reply to comment #4) > It's in the tree but was only recently added. look harder :) Bah, it must have been added shortly after I synced early this morning. Anyway, I rebooted, checked my logs, and it doesn't happen anymore with 1.0.17 (stable), so . . . no worries. If it reoccurs with >=1.0.18 once it's stabilized, I'll reopen. No issues right now.
