Hey this script is exactly something I'd like to show users in 
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug .

Can I put this script to our HG tree in alsa/ repo and point users to it 
in mentioned page?

Thanks.

I'll get in tough with the script writer and find out.  His name is
wishie on #alsa at irc.freenode.net.

Maybe we can add just a link?

One thing missing in this script is the alsactl file.  It's often
pretty helpful and more obvious than codec proc files for some trivial
bugs like mixer misconfiguration.

I though about this, but I'd like to have such script at official server 
somewhere. The /alsa HG repo is exactly created for this purpose, and we 
can eventually track changes in this script also from the security 
perspective.

Another reason to have this script under control ;-)

In that case, we must make it clear what is the license of that
script.  Preferably under GPL.

It's already under GPL (comment in this script says that), but having 
ack from the original author would be good, of course.

I'm trying to contact the authors now on IRC.  I am talking to one of
them, but the main developer is offline.  I'm sure he'd love to put it
up on alsa-project.org.
