Hi Paul,

The packages you usually install with apt are known as "binary packages". One or more "binary packages" are built from a "source package". In this particular case, "alsa-base" is a binary package built from the "alsa-driver" source package.

That said, if you are reporting a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug, you may enter a binary package name and Launchpad will pick the appropriate source package.

Could you provide some more information about what you were trying to do when you ran into this problem?
