alsa-state: pkg_postinst fails

[Daniel Gomez]

Hi,

When upgrading our system, alsa-state package fails (exit code 99) due
to the following:

root@qt5222:~# /usr/sbin/alsactl -g -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore
No state is present for card Generic
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI"
"HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100700" "0x1002" "0x15de"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
No state is present for card Generic
root@qt5222:~# echo $?
99

Adding -I (don't initialize even if restore fails) to the script
solves/workarounds the problem:
/usr/sbin/alsactl -g -I -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore

I was wondering if that's the proper solution or I'm actually missing
some configuration to make alsactl restore command to work properly.

System logs, when booting also shows the same issue:
May 07 10:07:47 qt5222 systemd-udevd[202]: controlC0: Process
'/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0' failed with exit code 99.

Any hint? Or should I just add -I option?

Thanks in advance!
