Well, an update causes a lot of rebuilds anyway. The NEWS of 1.2.0 look
like it is in fact only a bugfix release, so I took the risk to update to
this latest version. pulseaudio still compiles, and pavucontrol still works
on my machine.

The update is pushed to core-updates, but I would suggest to keep the bug
open until it is merged to master.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Andreas
