Just run it.

When started it displays this text:

  This script will collect information about your ALSA installation
  and sound related hardware, to help you diagnose your problem
  
  See ./alsa-info.sh --help for options

  Do you want to run this script ?

  [Yes]  [No]


When you select [Yes] it will do its thing and upload the
result to http://pastebin.ca.

So where did I give permission to do this ?

This script will also update itself without requiring any
authentication. It's a big security hole.
