alsactl prints error messages from alsa-lib as is, and it's rather annoying to see the error messages like

that are recorded in the syslog at each boot.
This patch adds --quiet (or -q) option to suppress those error messages from alsa-lib, and applies to the systemd services as default.
The fix is inaccurate as it's just a warning not an error.
But it says "error" :)
The question is, how to signal those warnings to users to eliminate the confusion.
The suppression of all alsa-lib errors does not seem like a good idea to me.
At least the messages that are no real errors should not be shown in that way. It's nothing but confusing.
thanks,
