Hi,
Since ~two years back Ubuntu ships alsa-info.sh on new installations, in
order to have bug reports that are upstream compatible.
However, alsa-info.sh seems to be a part of the alsa-driver git tree,
and the alsa-driver package is not released anymore, since we think that
is a part of the Linux kernel. As a result, alsa-info.sh is no longer
part of an upstream tarball that we can package in the usual way.
So maybe we should move alsa-info somewhere else, e g alsa-utils? What
do you think?

+1. alsa-utils or alsa-tools is a better place to maintain.

I'd prefer alsa-utils over alsa-tools: alsa-utils seems to have generic
utilities and alsa-tools specialised ones (i e for some specific
hardware). Since alsa-info is a generic tool (usable for everyone,
regardless of driver/hardware), alsa-utils seems to be a better fit.

OK, I put alsa-info.sh to alsa-utils git repo now.
Jaroslav, could you relink on www.alsa-project.org?
