[PlanetCCRMA] apt-get and alsaconf

[Joseph Zitt]

Digging further, this appears to be a bug in the Ximian Desktop. There
is a fix suggested in http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44442

>From what I can tell, it has to be applied in building RPMs, but I'm not
clear on this. Is this something we can do ourselves, or does it have to
happen when you build the RPMs (which would be a pain for you, I know)?
