BREAKING CHANGE: Users will need to migrate data from old App ID directories
Data migration will be implemented in next commit
ALSA Backend Fallback:
- enumerate_via_aplay() - Preferred method with real hardware descriptions
- enumerate_via_cpal() - Fallback without descriptions (frontend will translate)
- enumerate_alsa_devices() tries aplay first, falls back to CPAL on failure
- Warning log suggests installing alsa-utils if aplay fails
Edge Case Handled:
- System has ALSA installed but not alsa-utils package
- CPAL detects ALSA host → AlsaBackend available
- aplay -L command fails → fallback to CPAL enumeration
- User sees translated names instead of real hardware descriptions
- App still works, just with less friendly device names
Package Dependencies:
- Added alsa-utils as "Recommends" for .deb packages (Debian/Ubuntu)
- Added alsa-utils as "Recommends" for .rpm packages (Fedora/RHEL)
- "Recommends" = installs by default but not required (apt/dnf behavior)
- If user explicitly removes alsa-utils, app falls back gracefully
In practice alsa-utils is almost always installed with ALSA, but this
ensures we handle the edge case properly.
