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

[Lev Livnev]

Thank you for clarifying. The command without '-d pulse' indeed works as
expected. apt-listchanges didn't mention anything so I wasn't expecting any
change to the config.

Best wishes,
Lev
