The change to allow only /etc would break the existing alsa-plugins packaging, for example, which still may put the config to /usr/share/alsa/conf.d. In general, /usr/share is the place for global setups while /etc for local machines. So it's more natural to put the package default setup to /usr/share while allowing overriding it via /etc. You can imagine /usr/share is shared via NFS. If anything different is necessary, you put it in /etc. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
