Ah, right, well it must depend on the backends you have built/installed. Of course, it can not default to ALSA if it is not available! However, if you have a bunch of potentially valid backends, it is not clear to me how it selects. I am just guessing that it does something simple to default from one of the backends that are available. -- +-DRD-+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
