Bug#1017907: ffado-mixer-qt4 fails to start with python 3.10

[Benoît Delcour]

Package: ffado-mixer-qt4
Version: 2.4.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Dear Maintainer,

after python 3.10 transition ffado-mixer crashes on startup:

ffado-mixer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ffado-mixer-qt4/ffado/panelmanager.py", line 460, in 
updatePanels
self.addPanel(idx)
  File "/usr/share/ffado-mixer-qt4/ffado/panelmanager.py", line 339, in addPanel
mixerwidget.initValues()
  File "/usr/share/ffado-mixer-qt4/ffado/mixer/maudio_bebob.py", line 601, in 
initValues
ctl.setValue(vol)
TypeError: setValue(self, int): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
Abandon

This is due to an implicit type cast that is not permitted anymore in pytho 3.10

The issue is fixed upstream: svn commit r2832

Could you update the package please?
