alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #133 was edited from ZjYwMj:

With alsa-utils 1.2.6:

```
The directory ``/usr/share/alsa/samples/`` does not exist. It sounds as if ``speaker-test -t wav`` plays the files mentioned in the diff. This inaccuracy does not affect the operation of ``speaker-test``. Perhaps the paths to the wav files are hard coded within ``speaker-test``. Still, I find it a minor bug.
Why is this file distributed anyway? Is it for informational purposes? Was it used in the past, and no longer serves its purpose? Is it planed to be used in the future?
