alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #335 was opened from fenugrec:

I think I know what sequence triggers this.

*** steps to reproduce
1-  connect a device that has no Capture controls (unclear if this is the crucial difference). Here this is a Presonus Studio 1824c
2- run alsamixer; F6 to select that Card
3- Go the Capture view (F4)
4- arrow right
5- go to All view (F5) -> segfault


*** backtrace
```

No locals.
```

The problem is the argument `control_index=0xffffffff` which comes from display_controls() around lines 660-670 ; in this debug run (after the segfault) I observe the following values

```
(gdb) p first_visible_control_index
$1 = 0xffffffff
(gdb) p controls_count
$2 = 0x5
(gdb) p visible_controls
$3 = 0x5
(gdb) p focus_control_index
$4 = 0x0
```

not sure why `first_visible_control_index` has that value...
