            Bug ID: 56690
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Systemd won't let you disable alsa-(re)store.service
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: nucrap at hotmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

Systemd won't disable alsa-(re)store.service via "systemctl disable
alsa-restore.service"
Only masking will successfully disable it. However that is a rather brute-force
method. However it is also possible to just uninstall alsa-utils.

I know there aren't many reasons to disable the alsa-(re)store daemon.
I've had an issue with this because I use OSSv4 instead of ALSA. 
In my opinion AT LEAST a warning should be displayed that this service cannot
be disabled. At first I didn't even notice that systemd just ignored my
command. Only when I looked into the boot/shutdown logs I saw that
alsa-(re)store.service  was actually still being launched.

Aside from that, in my opinion systemd shouldn't pull in the ALSA daemon as
default. When somebody needs it, there's no obstacle in enabling it just as all
the other daemons.
