Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.13-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrade of linux-sound-base (1.0.13-4) and alsa-base (1.0.13-4)
alsa-utils is no longer working. Actually is completely messes up the sound
system.
Steps to reproduce the error:
1) Clean all sound configuration: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2
libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
2) Install from scratch: apt-get install libasound2 libasound2-plugins
linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
3) Restore mixer settings (unmute volume and pcm)
4) Login. Sound is working
5) Restart the system. You receive notification that all sound and mixer
settings are saved.
6) When the system comes up again aumix produceses a long list of errors
indication that sound card could not be found in which case no restoring of
sound and mixer setting was possible.
7) Login and discovere that all indication of a working alsa sound system are
gone.
8) Clean up again: dpkg --purge --force-all libasound2 libasound2-plugins
linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
9) Install from scratch again but this time don't include alsa-utils: apt-get
install libasound2 libasound2-plugins linux-sound-base alsa-base
10) Restore mixer settings
11) Login. sound is working.
12) Restart the system. You receive notification that all sound and mixer
settings are saved.
13) When the system comes up again you receive notification that all sound and
mixer settings are saved.
14) Login. This time alsa sound system is working properly.

No, you configured your card via alsaconf. Some 2,4 kernel configs
are done then, which conflict to your ETCH system. On Debian's 2.6
systems the configuration of alsa drivers is done by udev.
I'll close this bug, but will modify alsaconf for future releases to
use ist only linux <= 2,4. No, backports we don't support ;)
Thanks
