[Xcb] Bug#657538: libxcb1: breaks alsamixer

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Package: libxcb1                         
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: critical
Justification: makes unrelated software on the system break

Hello,

since libxcb1 upgraded to 1.8-1 alsamixer segfaults on startup.
Downgrading libxcb1 to 1.7-4 fixes this.
The system is a typical workstation with all the GNOME-bloat (and hence
also pulseaudio) installed.

root at darkside:~# COLUMNS=72 dpkg -l libxcb1 | grep ^i
ii  libxcb1        1.7-4          X C Binding
root at darkside:~# echo q | alsamixer

Thanks for your work & best regards
