The proximate problem is that pulseaudio also ships files in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d, and was thus broken by the change in alsa. However, I question whether that was a good idea at all: users don't usually need to modify these files, and making me ship the files in /etc is a bad idea, because then they would be left after remove.

Since libasound2-plugins 1.1.7-2 the files from alsa-plugins source in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ are linked to /etc/alsa/conf.d. pulse.conf should be linked by pulsausdio which installs that file.

Control: affects -1 libasound2-plugins Including the Alsa maintainers in the loop, as this may be really a bug on their side.

Why did they remove this? There is no rationale in the commit message. Alsa maintainers, would you consider this a bug in alsa plugins? I would think so, but unfortunately the bug tracker link in the upstream site is dead. Where would I report that? Files in /etc cause plenty of pain for "vendor" dropins, as the files might exist when the package is removed but not purged. As such, it is a much better idea to ship the files in /usr. > > > Pulseaudio should ship /etc/alsa/conf.d/pulse.conf instead of > /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf, or create symlink > /etc/alsa/conf.d/pulse.conf -> /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf. > > Before create the symlink: > > $ amixer info > Card default 'PCH'/'HDA Intel PCH at 0xdc628000 irq 132' > Mixer name: 'Realtek ALC3246' > Components: 'HDA:10ec0256,10280704,0012 > HDA:80862809,80860101,0010' > Controls : 57 > Simple ctrls : 19 > > After create the symlink: > > $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/pulse.conf > /etc/alsa/conf.d/pulse.conf > $ amixer info > Card default 'pulse'/'PulseAudio' > Mixer name: 'PulseAudio' > Components: '' > Controls : 4 > Simple ctrls : 2 > > [1] > https://salsa.debian.org/alsa-team/alsa-plugins/commit/93e03bdc2a3dcd5d12516f5de78e14d88a32ff2c > -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
