Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.14-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/alsamixer

With the following command I get nice UTF-8 box characters:

    xterm -e alsamixer

With the following command I get ugly an ASCII fallback:

    xterm -e screen alsamixer

I'm using UTF-8 everywhere, so I don't understand why I don't get nice
box art everywhere.

This isn't a alsa bug. It's an screen issue which has to be
configured by user.

Bug closed.
