when i only do --features "pulseaudio-backend" (without with-vorbis), it's still the same error as in the first post

This is a dupe of #460 and is caused by a breaking change in the protobuf crate.. https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/pull/463 should fix it..

please merge that PR into master,

I'm not sure how the versioning with cargo and master work, so will leave that to others.

i can't build spotifyd because the fix is only on dev (if that's possible)

Have a look into Cargo's patch or use spotifyd's Cargo.lock and build it with cargo build --locked as possible interim solutions..
