Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.20-1 Severity: normal
Hi, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils unconditionally tries to reset the 'pcsp' card from sanify_levels(). This is done either when called with the 'reset' argument to the init script or when restoring fails when called with 'start' during the runlevel change (e.g. when /var/lib/alsa/asound.state does not yet exist) Running a kernel without the pcsp driver this leads to lots of error messages. This following snipped is from output of sh -x /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start it repeats for every control that is being muted/zeroed from mute_and_zero_levels_on_card() .... + amixer -c pcsp -q set Master 0% mute + filter_amixer_output + sed -e '/Unable to find simple control/d' -e '/Unknown playback setup/d' -e '/^$/d' Invalid card number. Usage: amixer <options> [command] Available options: -h,--help this help -c,--card N select the card -D,--device N select the device, default 'default' -d,--debug debug mode -n,--nocheck do not perform range checking -v,--version print version of this program -q,--quiet be quiet -i,--inactive show also inactive controls -a,--abstract L select abstraction level (none or basic) -s,--stdin Read and execute commands from stdin sequentially Available commands: scontrols show all mixer simple controls scontents show contents of all mixer simple controls (default command) sset sID P set contents for one mixer simple control sget sID get contents for one mixer simple control controls show all controls for given card contents show contents of all controls for given card cset cID P set control contents for one control cget cID get control contents for one control ... I suppose that hardcoding is not really necessary anyway as 'pcsp' should be included when all cards are looped over (which is the case when running from init. And giving a specific card on the command line one would not expect this to operate on a different card. regards, ingo -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-32 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii dialog 1.1-20080819-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii libasound2 1.0.20-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090523-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii linux-sound-base 1.0.20+dfsg-1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.7-pre9-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii whiptail 0.52.10-3 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe Versions of packages alsa-utils recommends: ii alsa-base 1.0.20+dfsg-1 ALSA driver configuration files ii pciutils 1:3.1.2-5 Linux PCI Utilities alsa-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
