Comment 8 for bug 337314

Nikos, the source of the script is available for inspection and modification at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh

The script simply collects system information such as one's Linux distribution, versions of necessary debugging information (alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-kernel/linux), mixer volume settings, ownership and modes of /dev/snd/*, and contents of AC'97/HDA codec spew.

If you feel hesitant in any fashion regarding providing the above debugging information to help developers resolve driver bugs, please don't download, and don't run the script. Your bug reports, of course, will receive little attention due to the lack of necessary debugging information.

With respect to the revision history of the script itself, several insecure temporary file uses have been corrected. The above URL always redirects to the most current (git HEAD) version of the script. Of course, run the script as an unprivileged user.
