Also got hit by it. Digging in I found the /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf was
shipped with two keywords separated by a tab (\t) instead of spaces:
- defaults.pcm.file_format
- defaults.pcm.file_truncate
It happens that 'sep.split()' will not recognise \t as a valid
separator, so the error. This gives us two options to resolve the issue:
(1) update the libasound2 package: update /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf,
replacing the \t by spaces on the affected lines; this can be done
manually right now to bypass the issue.
(2) update the alsa-utils package: fix asoundconf so that whitespace
will be accepted as a separator. I personally think this is the best
option but I do not know what the maintainers would like.
Setting as triaged, Medium importance -- does not seem to hit everybody
(I do not know why), but it is probably someting that should be
milestoned.
