Warning of Debian Package

[clort81]

I'd like to report:

apt-get installing
gstreamer-aml libplayer-aml
made alsa unusable on my khadas VIM3.

I listen to audio on a USB soundcard (alsa 1,0) and the debian libplayer-aml package replaces libasound.

This resulted in a never-seen-before situation where programs targeting device (1,0) would play back through HDMI, and no change to /etc/asound.conf could fix.

Purging the package and reinstalling libasound did not restore normal operation - alsa refuses to accept (1,0) as default device. But now I can at least send one stream to the USB soundcard by specifying the alsa device at program invocation.

I just wanted the issue reported in a place people may be likely to find it. If anyone has further info on what happened, I'd be happy to read it.

Thanks!
