Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.20-2 Severity: wishlist
currently, when you start alsamixer without being allowed to use the sound devices (like not being in the audio group), you get a Device not found error. It would be nice if alsamixer recognized the EPERM it gets when opening the sound device and displays it to the user. It could even hint at the audio group, if the user is not a member of it yet. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.20-3 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii linux-sound-base 1.0.20+dfsg-1 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.9-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii whiptail 0.52.10-4 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 1:3.1.3-2 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".
