Recent ucm-conf changes introduce checks like this one in various places: If.mspk { Condition { Type String Empty "${var:MonoSpeaker}" } True ... False ... } The 'Empty "${var:MonoSpeaker}"' part can only every succeed if we do: Define.MonoSpeaker "" But so far that would result in an error like this one: ALSA lib ucm_subs.c:367:(uc_mgr_get_substituted_value) variable '${var:MonoSpeaker}' is not defined in this context! ALSA lib main.c:983:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import cht-bsw-rt5672 use case configuration -22 alsaucm: error failed to open sound card cht-bsw-rt5672: Invalid argument This commit fixes this by allowing empty values for "${var:...}" substitutions.
