This fixes two separate issues:

* It's parsed by all known versions of libasound.so.2, so it will work
  for both Steam Runtime 1 'scout' and Steam Runtime 2 'soldier', as
  well as future runtimes. Previously, we were using a path that only
  works in runtimes newer than scout.
* It's a direct child of /etc, which in our case is a tmpfs, so we
  don't need to worry about whether we will be able to create a mount
  point in a subdirectory.

steam-runtime-tools — Steam Runtime integration for the Steam client

The steam-runtime-tools library provides low-level Unix-specific tools and functionality for the Steam client, including the pressure-vessel tool that runs Steam games in containers.

To support multiple architectures (currently only i386 and x86_64 are supported), you will need to build it once for each architecture and install at least the helper tools in /usr/libexec/steam-runtime-tools-0 (the libsteam-runtime-tools-0-helpers package) for every architecture in parallel.

The helper tools are located relative to the shared library, so it's OK to bundle steam-runtime-tools alongside some other stack in this layout:

anything/
    lib/
        x86_64-linux-gnu/
            libsteam-runtime-tools-0.so.0
    libexec/
        steam-runtime-tools-0/
            i386-linux-gnu-*
            x86_64-linux-gnu-*

as long as the program that is linked to libsteam-runtime-tools-0.so.0 can find it (via a RPATH or RUNPATH or by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable).

pressure-vessel — putting Steam in containers

The pressure-vessel/ subdirectory of this project contains the pressure-vessel utilities, which are used by Steam's Steam Linux Runtime compatibility tool to run games in individual game-specific containers. For background on pressure-vessel and SteamLinuxRuntime, please see:
