There's already a bug filed for it (#407070), unfortunately the ALSA maintainers seem to know about as much about biarch builds as me, which is to say virtually nothing.

As you seem to know considerably more about bi-arch stuff any help on the subject or any suggested reading would be greatly appreciated. > - libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so being a plugin, lib32asound2 needs to > be patched to lookup for 32-bits compatibility plugins under a > different location, for example it should attempt to load plugins > from /usr/lib32/alsa-lib _first_, then fallback to /usr/lib/alsa-lib; > unless it does so already; a strace should confirm this I'm hoping that it already knows to look in the 32-bit library locations, because otherwise the lib32asound2 package would be, in my opinion, just plain broken. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
