[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#887768: alsa-utils: alsamixer pressing F6 freezes everything

[Susan Cragin]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 720 pen and installed Debian LXDE. 
All went mostly well until I opened a terminal and entered "alsamixer." 
I was able to adjust the master level but then I pressed F4 to show capture controls and everything froze.
After reboot tried F6 with same result.
