[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#658002: alsa-tools-gui: hdspmixer crashing

[iem]

Package: alsa-tools-gui
Version: 1.0.24.1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

i'm using an "RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface" soundcard. 
after i manually downloaded/installed the firmware
(alsa-firmware-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2) from the alsa-webpage as suggested in
doc/alsa-firmware-loaders/README.Debian, the card is recognized and initialized
correctly.

unfortunately hdspmixer behaves wild and unstable:
$ /usr/bin/hdspmixer
gives me the GUI, but a number of channels are flagged "Ovr", some (other)
channels display a signal where there is none, and everything seems jerky.
simply moving the mouse over the interface (no keypress, no nothing) will make
the right-most 2 (or so) channels to disappear and reappear.
moving the mouse a bit more, will generate a segfault.

this is what gdb says (though it's probably not very helpful):
<gdb>
$ gdb /usr/bin/hdspmixer

downgrading to the squeeze version of the package (alsa-tools-gui_1.0.23-3+b1)
seems to work properly, so this is a workaround for now.
