I have a patch for it (took from alsa's hg repo), will issue a -r1 now.

Fixed in 1.0.12_rc1-r1, thanks for reporting and for the backtrace :)

thanks for giving me a hand - and reminding me that /etc/asound.conf is pretty
much similar to asoundrc ;-)

*** Bug 141805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Bug #121370 looks familiar. That's my own bug as well.

I'll be sure to remeber to remove my .asoundrc before the next time I submit a
ALSA bug.
