Use sound.target to trigger the service, which is the proper way to start a service related to sound card. This also makes sure that the service will only start if a sound card exists in the system.
Has this target existed in all released versions of systemd? Just to be sure...
basic.target is too early for either of the service:
- alsa-state.service will spam "No soundcards found" on every boot
Actually this should be seen as a bug of alsactl itself. In the daemon mode, it should be allowed to run without the sound card at start.
- alsa-restore.service will never start because of "ConditionPathExistsGlob=/dev/snd/control*"
... unless reloading or starting the service later.
"After=sysinit.target" is removed from alsa-state.service because it never made any sense.
"After=alsa-state.service" is removed from alsa-restore.service because it is completely unnecessary with the daemon conf switch.
Now either of serivce is enough to manage the state all by itself without the udev rules if only ONE sound card exists in the system, while the rules are still necessary in system with multiple sound cards.
... or with a hotplug device.
"StandardOutput=syslog" is also removed from alsa-restore.service because it makes little sense (if it has ever switched the behaviour away from default).
That's superfluous indeed.
thanks,
Takashi
