Problem:
gqrx-als has been stripped out of the most recent build 2.15.9-4
Steps to reproduce:
Install gqrx. Try to run gqrx-alsa gqrx-alsa does not exist
In more detail:
In the most recent version of gqrx 2.15.9-4 for some unknown reason gqrx-alsa was stripped out. There are people like me using slimmed down systems without a DE that prefer not to install pulseaudio as for us it is just a waste of space and often gets in the way.
I pulled the PKGBUILD with asp. Strangely that was for the previous version with the gqrx-alsa stuff still in.
I modified the version # to 2.15.9 and rebuild leaving the gqrx-alsa stuff intact. It built without a hitch And worked flawlessly once built and installed. So I do not see a technical reason for the removal of gqrx-alsa.
Please re-instate gqrx-alsa so persons like myself that run with just alsa do not need to manually rebuild the package every update.
