alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #133 was edited from ZjYwMj:

With alsa-utils 1.2.6:
```
```
The directory ``/usr/share/alsa/samples/`` does not exist. It sounds as if ``speaker-test -t wav`` plays the files mentioned in the diff. This inaccuracy does not affect the operation of ``speaker-test``. Do the paths to the wav files are hard coded within ``speaker-test``? Does only their ``basename`` counts?  Still, I find it a minor bug.
Why is ``/usr/share/alsa/speaker-test/sample_map.csv`` distributed anyway? Am I misunderstanding [Install sound samples to correct places](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/commit/fb2f99f1f99c430d1ca263be84d919aa808601c3)? Is it for informational purposes? Was it used in the past, and no longer serves its purpose? Is it planed to be used in the future? Is it something else?
[speaker-test.c](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/blob/00be486131129a6d209de62202d2a4974638127f/speaker-test/speaker-test.c):742 has the ``basename``s hardcoded. And there is also the default value for ``--wavdir`` of ``/usr/share/sounds/alsa``.
