[Bug 298424] [NEW] sl-modem-daemon init.d script looks for information about ALSA modem in wrong place

[Peteris Krisjanis]

Public bug reported:

This is very similar to bug in Jockey (aka Hardware Drivers):
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/295158

Issue is that /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon detects if there is ALSA modem
automatically. However, for some reason this is broken beginning with
Hardy (or maybe even before that), at least for my card, because it
looks for modem information in /proc/asound/cards. However, indication
that my computer has ALSA modem you can find *only* doing aplay -l,
which gives indication that subdevice is modem and it's ALSA address (in
my case hw:0,6).

my /proc/asound/cards is:
pecisk at pecisk-laptop:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf4700000 irq 16

and aplay -l is:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So please fix so sl-modem-daemon init.d script would look into aplay -l
results, if it's available (alsa-utils package). It is installed by
default for almost all Ubuntu and Debian distribution scenarios.
