Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
Just updated to the latest gutsy and got a notification update:
Refresh Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets
New Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) configuration presets have
been added. Please execute the asoundconf(1) set-default-card macro in
a Terminal now to refresh your user's configuration presets.
This is a useless notification as following it's instructions I get:
$ asoundconf set-default-card
You have omitted a necessary parameter.
Please see the output from `asoundconf list`, and use one of
those sound card(s) as the parameter.
Are we really expecting joe-average user to know which one of his
soundcards he really wants to be default? Beyond that, is it really
acceptable to ask joe-average user to open a shell and enter command
lines?
It sounds like what is needed here is a gui helper that the user can
trial and error through sound cards to see which one he wants default.
Cheers.
