Description Robert R. Russell 2008-12-20 04:28:17 UTC
I am having some alsa related problems with my system and am having to file a bug report with alsa and they requested the output of an alsa-info.sh script which I had to check out of the alsa-driver git repo. Now I understand the it is part of the alsa-driver package but since bugs will probably have to be reported against in kernel drivers I think that we should provide this script with the alsa-utils package.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.18
2. find /usr -name alsa-info.sh -print


Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
the path to alsa-info.sh

I am not sure if any other alsa-utils versions have this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, assigning to maintainers.

Hmm, that's interesting.  It's part of the alsa-driver package, and we're not installing anything in the utils directory at all.

Not sure how to handle this one.  Might have a source dep on alsa-driver, unpack it, and install some of the utils.

Robert,

Wow, thanks man, that tool is really helpful.  I can't believe we've been missing out on that one.

It's been added to alsa-utils-1.0.22-r1.ebuild

Thanks!
