Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.25-3
Severity: serious
Hi,
dropping the udev rule in #636437 was a mistake and done for the wrong
reasons.
Without the udev rule, the mixer levels are no longer correctly
restored for hot plugged sound hardware or if the driver takes longer to
initialize the hardware, as relying on the init script is racy.
On my SSD system, where the complete boot takes less then 3 secs, the
alsa-utils init script is run before the sound module has been loaded
and initialized the hardware.
The udev rules thus needs to be added back.
I think this needs to be fixed for wheezy, especially since this is a
regression from squeeze, where we do have the udev rule.
So I'm marking this as RC.
There is the /usr-on-separate-partition issue, and the justification
why the udev rules was mistakenly removed in the first place.
We could move alsactl and libasound to /lib and /sbin, but we actually
don't need to do that. If the udev rule is triggered before /usr is
mounted, we can simply skip the alsactl call, since we now the sysv init
script will run later.
So all we have to do is to add a TEST for the existence of the
/usr/sbin/alsactl binary and skip the rule if the binary is not
available yet. This avoids the udev warning which apparently confuses
some users.
Michael

Version: 1.0.25-4
alsa-utils (1.0.25-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Remove debian/set-default-soundcard which hasn't been installed since
1.0.10rc1-1, in 2005.
* Restore the installation of the upstream udev rules file.
* Drop debian/udev.{rules,script} entirely and just rely on upstream's
simpler udev rule file. Our rules were wrong or pointless.
* udev_test_alsactl.patch: include a TEST=="/usr/sbin/alsactl" in the
upstream udev rule, to properly fix the state restoring for users
with split /usr filesystems (really addresses: #670490).
Many thanks to Michael Biebl for analysis and proposed fix.
* Stop removing /lib/udev/rules.d stuff on purge, as that is dpkg-owned.
