Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: important
Since upgrading sarge recently, ALSA applications (including alsaplayer and the
KDE sound system) cannot start on my
system, which is using the Aureal Vortex (au8830) sound driver.
Applications log the following errors:
ALSA lib conf.c:2792:(snd_config_hook_load) "/usr/share/alsa/cards/Aureal
Vortex.conf" is not a word
ALSA lib conf.c:2672:(snd_config_hooks_call) function
snd_config_hook_load_for_all_cards returned error: Invalid argument
ALSA lib pcm.c:1947:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM default definition
(id: default, value: cards.pcm.default)
The problem may be because the private_string defined by the au8830 driver
contains a space.
I have worked round the problem by editing /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf as in the
following patch:
