• [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] profiles: remove default ALSA_CARDS setting from a

    From Mike Gilbert@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 26 20:40:01 2021
    These have not been reviewed for several years and contain many obsolete/invalid values.

    Currently only two packages utilize these flags:

    media-sound/alsa-tools optionally installs several card-specific
    utilities. It is unlikely that anything will break if these are
    uninstalled by accident.

    sys-firmware/alsa-firmware installs firmware for niche hardware
    and is probably needed by very few users.

    It probably makes more sense for the user to set ALSA_CARDS explicitly.
