Execution of unit test independent from actual sound device is one of my intention for the tests, and actually the they performs. Executables of the test include duplicated code of axfer for this intention.

As long as I know, any Makefile generated by GNU Automake doesn't run test unless 'check' target is given explicitly. https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Tests.html Thereore, it depends on yout configuration of debhelper to execute the tests in building time of deb package. Please recheck your 'debian/rules' and adds appropriate directives to suppress execution of test for axfer (perhaps, 'override_dh_auto_test'). For example: ``` override_dh_auto_test: true ``` For your information, alsa-utils includes no other test programs.
