In the new libxcb version, xcb_disconnect calls shutdown() on a socket
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/shutdown.html
or man 2 shutdown), but alsa-utils exposes such a function. → kaboom.

Reassigning to alsa-utils, which needs to stop using already-taken
names. Julien: thanks for the quick investigation.

Since it doesn't affect other packages, grave shall be enough.

Mraw,
KiBi.
