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 ``/usr/share/alsa/speaker-test/sample_map.csv`` 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?
