Bug Description

From the buildlog in Presise(https://launchpadlibrarian.net/106414642/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.freerdp_1.0.1-1ubuntu2.1_BUILDING.txt.gz):

-- Skipping optional package PulseAudio.
-- Enable this using "-DWITH_PULSEAUDIO=ON".
-- Skipping optional package PCSC.
-- Enable this using "-DWITH_PCSC=ON".

Smartcard support is essential for enterprise users and PulseAudio will integrate better in current Ubuntu architecture.

Note that the file debian/control has Build-Depends for libpulse-dev. It looks like someone expected pulseaudio to be used.

Shouldn't this bug be split? Pulseaudio support works, but freerdp-x11 is still compiled without smartcard support.

I backported freerdp from Ubuntu Vivid, but on it segfaults when trying to use smartcard redirection.
  Loading device service smartcard (static)
  registered device #1: SCARD (type=32 id=1)
  registered device #1: SCARD (type=32 id=1)
  registered device #1: SCARD (type=32 id=1)
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Does that mean that it will be compiled without smartcard support again?
