Bug#624847: pulseaudio does not build anymore with xcb-util 0.3.8

[Arnaud Fontaine]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

No, because the only reason why pulseaudio was depending on libxcb-atom1
was   xcb_atom_get()   which   has   been   removed   since   then,   so
xcb_intern_atom*()  (from libxcb1)  should be  used  instead. Therefore,
there is  no need to  Build-Depends on libxcb-util0-dev,  libxcb1-dev is
enough (if you look carefully  at the patch I provided, configure.ac has
been updated and *only* depends upon xcb >= 1.6).

As the package  is currently in experimental, it was  not a priority for
me, sorry... Daniel:  do you want me to upload  the version currently in
Debian git?

Cheers,
