Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

We need to collect the version of alsa-kernel running to make better recommendations, e.g., whether people should install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic when running a new Realtek or IDT HDA codec under 9.10.

I think it would be better to use, because the package is optional and this file can be present or not:

attach_file_if_exists(report, '/proc/asound/version', 'AlsaVersion')
