alsa-lib 1.2.2 breaks Shovel Knight, 1.2.1.2 is still working.

[GitHub issues - reopened]

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #27 was reopened from DarkWav:

So, today after upgrading to alsa-lib 1.2.2 I noticed the game "Shovel Knight" does no longer launch.
Any Ideas why this could be happening?
Sadly steam or the game executable won't provide any usable debug info when looking at terminal output :( .
Can I maybe use GDB to gather more info or is that useless in this case?
