Hi!

    Your package seems to be specific to linux and won't work on
kfreebsd or hurd. Please consider setting arch to linux-any.

Regards

If you have further questions please mail debian-bsd@lists.debian.org

Hello

The limiting factor seems to be the ALSA library and I have no idea
about the situation of ALSA in kfreebsd or hurd.

linux-any? I wasn't aware of that one. Sounds good.

Actually my current plan is to replace qasmixer and qasconfig with a new
package called qastools. It will include both programs and a third one
(qashctl) which was forked out of qasmixer.

Unless someone from bsd/hurd world comes up with a fix for the upcoming
qastools, I'd like to stay with linux-any. That's simply because I have
no experience/system with kfreebsd or hurd.

Regards,
Sebastian H.

There's a wrapper library that can make some basic alsa audio
working. However I'm rather sure it won't do anything related to a mixer
;-) as the underlying architecture on !linux is OSS
