+Subject: [PATCH] alsactl: Add path condition to alsa-store and alsa-restore
+ services
+
+With alsa-restore.service and alsa-store.service, systemd invokes
+alsactl at boot and shutdown times.  When this is invoked on a system
+without sound cards, it results in an ugly error message from alsact
+
+  /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1590: No soundcards found...
+  return code is "19"
+
+Add ConditionPathExistsGlob checks of /dev/snd/control* devices for
+avoiding unnecessary invocations of alsactl on such a system.
+
