OK, when there is time, will work on it.

Compared to Shorewall for example, which is superbly documented
and works as the documents describe. Sorry to say that the
problems with sound alone will deter any casual user from
considering Debian as an alternative to Windows.
Searches for bug reports against alsa-base with "document" or
"documentation" in the subject found nothing. If anyone finds
such a report in another alsa related package, please let us know.
A bug report is on my todo list.
P.s., With alsa, was this simple procedure forgotten?
(1) Write the specifications and documentation.
(2) Write the software.
(3) Make sure the implementation is consistent with documents from (1).
Regards, ... Peter E.
