Package: libasound2 Version: 1.0.23-1 This is what I observe:

After installing libasound2 1.0.23-1 from testing, the behaviour changed to what I pasted above, still with the amixer from lenny's alsa-utils. An upgrade to alsa-utils 1.0.23-2 did not fix the problem. As the problem does not seem to depend on the alsa-utils version, I assume the bug to be in libasound2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
