Description:

After upgrade of alsa-lib etc to 1.2.3, I have experienced SDL2_mixer/fluidsynth routines noting ALSA plugin load errors on stderr and soon thereafter crashing.

First workaround: Downgrade to

* alsa-lib-1.2.2-1
* alsa-topology-conf-1.2.2-2
* alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.2-1
* alsa-utils-1.2.2-1

Second way found: Undo the downgrade and rebuild alsa-plugins.
Officially there is no new version for alsa-plugins, so just incrementing the release number should be appropriate.

As to why the rebuild seems necessary: Not sure. Maybe due to the change `snd_dlopen: do not use absolute plugin path for snd_dlopen() calls`[1].

It might be that other dependents of alsa-lib need rebuilds as well, but my issue has been resolved with the alsa-plugins rebuild.

@ccorn: Thanks for the report.

I can't reproduce this with the current versions of alsa-lib et al.
Is this still an issue for you? How exactly are you trying to start things and what is the exact log output for fluidsynth?
