alsa-utils usage says /etc/init.d

[Dave Gilbert]

Binary package hint: alsa-utils

if you run alsa-utils it says:

Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils {start [CARD]|stop [CARD]|restart [CARD]|reset [CARD]}

however it isn't there, it's actually /sbin and whether you actually want to run that directly is another question altogether, but it's not /etc/init.d

Accepted alsa-utils into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package alsa-utils - 1.0.23-3ubuntu1

---------------
alsa-utils (1.0.23-3ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * Merge from debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/init:
      + wait until /usr/bin and /var/lib/alsa exist
      + only display an error when dealing with alsactl if there is no card
        specified
      + Set sane level for 'Speaker' and 'Headphone', needed for Dell Mini 9
        and Dell E series
      + ute PC Beep on hda cards that support it during initial volume setup
      + update lsb header to indicate no running of the script unless the
        udev rule is run
      + Mute *Analog/Digital Control for Creative cards by default
      + Default Digital Input Source to be Digital Mic 1 so that users
        with digital mic will be able to use it out of the box
      + Mute "IEC958 Optical Raw" by default
      + Set sane level for headphone 1 for Dell Studio XPS with 2.6.30
      + Don't muck with sound card state if alsactl restore fails
      + Don't wait for 1 second after alsactl store
      + Stop muting on reboot/shutdown
      + Prefer built-in digital mics on newer Dells
      + Unmute 'Line HP Swap' for Dove boards
    - debian/rules:
      + ship udev rules file in /lib/udev/rules.d
      + Do not install start symlinks for the alsa-utils init script, it gets
        run from a udev rule
    - debian/udev.script: do not use hotplug functions
    - debian/README.init.cs4236: Include in /usr/share/doc/alsa-utils so that
      users of snd-cs4236 (e.g., ThinkPad 600) can have audible sound
    - debian/patches/unset_pulse_internal.patch: We don't want alsamixer to
      show the pulse mixer by default, since it can be controlled from
      pulseaudio itself
    - debian/patches/fix_misspelling_speaker-test_man_page.patch: Fix
      misspelling in speaker-test(1)
    - Remove alsaconf from build system and remove po files
    - Create an upstart job specifically saving mixer levels to resolve race
    - Version build-dep to upstart-aware debhelper.
    - Move the initscript into /sbin. We now have an upstart job just for
      handling alsactl store
    - Include several changes from upstream git master:
      + upstream git changesets:
      + dcb90a77 - Use "Found hardware:" instead "Unknown hardware:"
      + 7f6a55e2 - use "generic method" instead "guess method"
      + 52bd2f8a - Handle "Capture Source" and "Mic Boost"
      + ef919a47 - Initialize also "Master Front Playback Volume" & "Switch"

  [ Oliver Grawert ]
  * debian/patches/add_omap4_support.patch: [adds support for the OMAP4
    Pandaboard as well as for the OMAP4 Blaze SDP4430 SoC]
  * debian/init add a separate call to alsactl init in case an SDP4430 or
    OMAP4 Pandaboard is detected. This ASoC driver requires explicit
    initialization currently (LP: #637947)

  [ Daniel T Chen ]
  * debian/init: Fix naming of script (LP: #654902)

alsa-utils (1.0.23-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Elimar Riesebieter ]
