+Subject: [PATCH] alsamixer: Fix X-win related crash for PulseAudio plugin
+ (bad linking)
+
+A lot of reports that alsamixer crashes in X terminal when the PulseAudio
+CTL plugin is activated were entered to the tracking systems.
+
+I figured that there is a linking clash for the shutdown() function.
+The shutdown() function in glibc is socket related, but the alsamixer code
+redefines this function and appearently that under some linking
+circumstances - which PA client invokes during the runtime dynamic linking
+- the wrong function is called.
+
+This patch, for safety, renames the shutdown() function from alsamixer
+to app_shutdown(), but it might make sense to figure the real linking
+culprit to avoid future surprises.
