Hi,

When talking with PulseAudio users, I sometimes need to tell people to file ALSA bugs, and it would be nice to have a web page that explains how to do that. (Also, I found that the alsa packages in OpenEmbedded point to a non-functional bug tracker, and I wanted to fix the packages, but I couldn't find a substitute link.) Therefore I created a wiki page: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking

The Bug_Tracking wiki page points to another new page, explaining alsa- info.sh: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/AlsaInfo

Are the ALSA maintainers happy with the contents? I'm not really an expert on how you prefer bugs to be reported.

Yeah, I'm happy with it. Thank you!

Though, a few more hints would be better to be put: - alsa-devel ML needs the manual approval if posted from non-subscribers. Subscribe to ML before posting, or be patient.

- A too long text is seen as a spam. The alsa-info.sh output might be better compressed and attached to the mail. (A long text can go out after the manual approval, though.)

- HTML mails are silently dropped as spam on alsa-devel ML.

Also, the "Bug Tracker" link in the wiki sidebar points to https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug%C2%A0which doesn't work. I think that link should be changed to point to the new wiki page, but I don't have edit rights for the sidebar.

Right, this has been dead, and I also wish it removed... I thought I tried it but failed due to the edit right, too.
