Package: alsa-firmware-loaders
Version: 1.0.27-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
A dist-upgrade on 2014-04-17 replaced the old version 1.0.27-2 with:
Package: alsa-firmware-loaders
Version: 1.0.27-3
When running hdsploader (as I do on bootup), it failed to find
/usr/share/alsa/firmware/hdsploader/digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I looked into that directory and found no hdsploader directory, just:
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR
.:
total 196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011
COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I seem to recall having to manually create this directory back in
Sept 2011 (see the blank file I left as a marker), as it was
similarly looking for firmware there.
I don't know whether or not it used to look elsewhere for firmware,
or whether the firmware was deleted by the DU.
So I created the required directory, and all works fine as usual:
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# mkdir hdsploader
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
hdsploader
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR
.:
total 196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011
COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 18 12:54 hdsploader
./hdsploader:
total 96
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I'm guessing that RME Multiface users may have to copy a different
file, perhaps like this...?
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a multiface_firmware_rev11.bin
hdsploader
This is obviously a kludge fix, but it works for now until the
package is fixed. Thanks for this brilliant package without which
my studio would be silent!

Well, the Debian Alsa Maintainers don't provide the firmware itself.
See /usr/share/doc/alsa-firmware-loaders/README.Debian. For the
handling and installing of alsa firmware only the user is
responsible.
So closing this bug.
