Whenever Alsamixer is used to switch between configuration modes (All, Capture, Playback) or move from one slider to another (this only happens occasionally, most often after being used once and closed down, then used again; but once it failed once, it fails every time after that - for every user. Error message: Alsamixer: simple.c:1975: snd_mixer_selem_get_enum_item: Assertion `helem' failed. Aborted Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "alsamixer" 2. Press [Tab] to switch configuration mode 3. Alsamixer crashes. Actual Results: Alsamixer: simple.c:1975: snd_mixer_selem_get_enum_item: Assertion `helem' failed. Aborted Expected Results: Switched configuration mode between All, Playback or Capture; or move slider (ea.

i guess this is an upstream problem, 1.0.9a is now in the tree which should resolve this issue. please test and report back
Seems to work so far
marking this one as upstream then. feel free to reopen if the problem persists.
