alsa-project/alsa-python pull request #19 was opened from florolf:

This has always been wrong, but since Python 3.14 restructured some memory management code in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/5716cc352940a5f8557a8191e873837aa619498a, this now causes Python to segfault:

```shell-session
$ cat a.py
from pyalsa import alsamixer

m=alsamixer.Mixer()
m.attach()
m.load()
e=alsamixer.Element(m, 'Master')
e.set_volume_tuple([0,0])
$
$ for i in $(seq 1 100); do python -Xfaulthandler a.py || break; done
Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault
