[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#674769: ia32-libs (wheezy) is missing alsa-plugins (libasound2-plugins)

[Julian Rüger]

Package: ia32-libs
Version: 20120102
Severity: normal

In the wheezy-repos, the ia32-libs package is missing files in /usr/lib32/alsa-
lib/* (like libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so)

Since lib32asound2-plugins is no longer available, from what I have read, these
libraries are supposed to be included in ia32-libs. Ubuntu did this prior to
their switch to true multiarch-support, for example.

This is needed, among others, by wine or zsnes (see bug #672935).

A workaround is to install lib32asound2-plugins (1.0.23-1) from squeeze,
however this old version causes cracking sounds and other problems. Copying the
files from the i386 version of libasound2-plugins (wheezy) or ia32-libs from
Ubuntu oneiric did not work for me.
