No sorry, but the rumor is incorrect and i don't remember who proposed
the removal. sorry about that.

| As a note, when I first installed Ubuntu alsaconf simply froze without
| doing anything.
|
| Let me know if you are going to include alsaconf back into alsa-utils in

Please always take your case on the mailing lists or appropriate forums.
If i am away for any reasons, your mail would pass unanswered.
