alsa-utils (1.0.19-1) unstable; urgency=low
This upload removes alsaconf and asoundconf, two scripts which
could be used to modify certain ALSA parametres, as they caused
more problems than provided solutions, were outdated and generally
useless.
alsaconf was upstream's way to detect sound cards and generate
system-wide ALSA configurations. However, this should have been
unnecessary for a very long time, with the introduction of udev
support and its automatic hardware detection. If this isn't the
case for you, it's a bug which should be filed and fixed properly.
asoundconf was a tool introduced by Ubuntu which could be used to
generate asoundrc files for systems with special needs. The script
was not being maintained and was getting buggy, and the Debian and
Ubuntu teams have agreed to get rid of it for the next release. Users
can use Pulse or similar technologies to configure their preferred
sound devices and sinks.
