[linux-audio-user] Fw: FreeWheeling 'Xlib async reply' fix

Hi,

I wanted to pass this back to linux-audio-user for anyone who is having an
issue with an Xlib error: 'Xlib async reply' when FreeWheeling starts up.

Several people have reported this. Here's a fix that seems to work:

This fix will appear in the next prerelease.

Once again, thanks for all your tremendous feedback- already I am glad I went
the open-source route.

Best,
