[Archive Removal] asoundconf-gtk

[David Henningsson]

Where: Raring and up
What: both sources and binaries
Why:
 - It has been broken since karmic (see bug 378675)
 - The person who wrote it (Toby Smithe) says, in the same bug: "I recommend that asoundconf-gtk be removed; it has been broken for a long time now, and its last upload was almost five years ago."
 - It is not a recommended method to set the default sound card anyway; there is a reason asoundconf was removed from alsa-utils in the first place.
RDepends: "apt-cache rdepends asoundconf-gtk" is clean and I have no reason to believe it is used anywhere else.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

I am totally in favour of this; it would mean no longer having to explain things to well-wishing bug reporters, and no longer feeling guilty that a package due to me is broken!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
