Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev

The error above results from lines like:
  
elif [ -f /etc/redhat-release -a `grep -c "Red Hat" /etc/redhat-release 2>/dev/null` -ne 0 ]; then

instead it should be 
elif [[ -f /etc/redhat-release && `grep -c "Red Hat" /etc/redhat-release 2>/dev/null` -ne 0 ]; then

notice the doubled '[[' and ']]' and '&&' instead of '-a', isn't it ?

Reproducible: Always

that isn't a gentoo problem... could you please report it upstream to the alsa developers.
