Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.1.10
Severity: minor
File: /etc/modprobe.d/eeepc.conf

DI> I seem to have the following in /etc/modprobe.d/eeepc.conf:
DI> options snd_hda_intel power_save=5 model=eeepc-901

Ah! Indeed there must be a bug. For a loop like
# while sleep 1; do beep; done
one will miss the power_save'th beep. The default thus makes one miss
every 5th beep. Set it to 1 and get no beeps at all.
Test with echo 1 >> /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save .
0 gives all ones' beeps. Ah, finally I'm sure to get mail Notification from Norbelwitz!

Changelog says
* Enable audio power saving, defaulting to a 5-second delay before
powering down. (snd_hda_intel power_save in /etc/modprobe.d/eeepc)

Now I understand you whippersnappers all have beeping turned off in
alsamixer or whatever, lest it disrupt your Easy Listening Music, and
thus will never encounter this bug, however this beep mangling is
definitely a bug, at least on my EEEPC 702 8G. Please reassign this bug
to the correct package.
