Package: libasound2
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Version 1.1 of this library doesn't seem to be fully compatible with
version 1.0.
Steam games based on source engine can output no sound at all.

I have opened a bug to steam upstream for this,
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4296
However since it is not a major release, I would expect the library to be
compatible with the previous version.
I don't know enough of the system to assign blame.
I hope this can be solved.
Thanks
