[alsa-devel] [PATCH/RFC] alsa-info: add DMI data to the alsa-info output

[Ozan Çağlayan]

This is a working but not a clean/good patch for doing that because I'm
not very good at shell scripting but I'm posting it just to give a
possible idea.

dmidecode should be run as root because it reads /dev/mem. If alsa-info
is run as root, providing at least the system-manufacturer and
system-product-name in the output will be very useful for distro
maintainers.

Thanks,
Ozan Caglayan
