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
