It is a well known issue to the Debian community to read /usr/share/doc/<packagename> to get info's about setting up the package. As well there is a possibility to file a bug and describe the problem. In most cases you'll get an advice on howto from the maintainer (like the alsa-package-maintainers ;-)) For advanced help ask the community (debian-users).
I know about that. I imagine that if I spent a considerable amount of time I could go through all this and get ALSA to do what is needed. But I have other priorities in life. And what about users who are not particularly computer literate, how are they supposed to get their systems working?
You managed to set up your sound so what do you want?
Sort of, I wrote. I had to use PulseAudio and I want to just use ALSA. Or if PulseAudio is what ALSA people want us to use, to have the two integrated. And it still does not work properly, having to restart after a USB device is hotplugged and Ekiga to Bluetooth does not work.
Googling around, clearly I am not the only one who is having this sort of difficulty. There seems to be plenty of dissatisfaction about using ALSA with multiple devices.
I am not suggesting this is easy to fix and it seems to me that it may need some fairly basic changes to ALSA. My purpose in submitting this wishlist bug is to flag it as an issue and give an opportunity for ALSA-maintainers to let us know what is happening about it.
So if ALSA-maintainers (working, of course, with upstream) wontfix this then it just adds to the urgency of finding alternatives to ALSA.
