18530	alsactl init exits with non zero error code	pierre	pierre	"Commit [sha:a0da9419fd] has added the `alsactl init` instruction for setting up sound cards, but now I get:

Note that it is not a problem with ucm2 configuration not found: if I run `alsactl --no‐ucm init`, I get:

I think a lot of cards can use a ""generic method"", and don't need to be recognized, so that a 99 error code is normal for them. But it breaks scripts running with `set -e`"	defect	closed	normal	12.1	BOOK	git	medium	fixed
