Package: linux-sound-base
Version: 1.0.11-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Would be nice if you could disable both ALSA and OSS sound support in the
debconf template. This is useful for servers that load a bunch of drivers
for their integrated sound card and none of this is ever used.
Patch attached.
