Subject: Mention alsabat-test on the alsabat man page, and link man pages
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2019 02:56:13 +0800
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.7-1
File: /usr/share/man/man1/alsabat.1.gz

/usr/sbin/alsabat-test needs a man page.
So perhaps combine it with alsabat's man page:

Please update the synopsis:
SYNOPSIS
       alsabat [flags]
       alsabat-test ...

Alas, one is in /usr/bin, one in /usr/sbin.
So one should be in section 1, one in section 8, of the manual.

Currently alsabat-test isn't even mentioned on alsabat's man page.

Usually such test programs just live in /usr/share/doc/*/examples
directories. But whoever moved it to /usr/sbin forgot to supply a man page.
