[Alsa-user] amixer device name broken in 0.9.8

[J. S. M. <als...@pr...>]

I recently upgraded from ALSA 0.9.5 to 0.9.8.

It appears that "amixer -D hw:1" no longer works:

[scott@localhost etc]$ amixer -D hw:1
amixer: Mixer attach hw:1ult error: No such device

I notice that it is sticking in the last three
characters from the word "default".  This
also occurs for other device specifications:

[scott@localhost etc]$ amixer -D vxpocket
ALSA lib control.c:654:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL vxpoult
amixer: Mixer attach vxpoult error: No such file or directory

Note that once again "ult" from "default" has been
mistakenly inserted into the device name.

It is certainly possible that I have my ALSA devices are
mis-configured - however "alsamixer -D hw:1" *does*
work properly.

Just in case, my /etc/asound.conf is as follows:

[scott@localhost etc]$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.i810 {
   type hw
   card 0
}
ctl.i810 {
   type hw
   card 0
}
pcm.vxpocket {
   type hw
   card 1
}
ctl.vxpocket {
   type hw
   card 1
}

Thanks, Scott.
