[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#827636: libasound2: ALSA lib control.c:954:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL pulse

[Lev Livnev]

Elimar,

My sound works, the problem I'm having is that after the latest upgrade
(from 1.1.0-1 to 1.1.1-1), I can't control the volume from the command line
using $ amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+, getting the error that was the
subject of the original bug report. It is still possible to control the
levels from # alsamixer. Before the upgrade the above command ran fine (and
was used by Xbindkeys to control levels using keyboard keys), but it seems
like a change in one of the ALSA libraries broke it.
