Comment 4 for bug 271899

I am running 8.04 (studio) with alsa-utils-1.0.18, and still get into:

$ asoundconf set-default-card EMU1010
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/asoundconf", line 429, in <module>
    exit_code(set_default_card(sys.argv[2]))
  File "/usr/bin/asoundconf", line 354, in set_default_card
    (j, k) = sep.split(i)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Isn't this fix supposed to be in alsa-utils-1.0.18?
Or does it work only with intrepid?

I made the modification in "Bug attachments" by hand and it works, the affected lines were:
sep = re.compile(r'[ ]')
instead of
sep = re.compile(r'[ \t]')

Just curious about why the change isn't in alsa 1.0.18.
