To be honest, alsaconf needs not to be fixed but rewritten.

Why?

* It still can handle ISA cards
* It growed over the time, and the code is now a bit 
unreadable and unflexible
* it can only create a new configuration, but it cannot read 
and edit an existing one
* it cannot handle USB cards
* it cannot deal with asoundrc which is needed to set a 
default soundcard and doing card ordering
* ...


Unfortunately I'm not enough a programmer, but if I was I'd do 
it.

Please note that this is no alsaconf bashing. It has done a 
great job over the years, but meanwhile it needs a 
replacement.


 Best regards
