These are two different problems.  The latter can be solved by removing
the locks in hooks.

But reverting the whole FX routing causes a regression, so can't be
taken as is.  If the FX route 8/9 can't be used for the front output
on some models, the driver should notify it somehow and we need to
handle differently for them.  Typically, the driver sets a different
driver-name so that alsa-lib can use the corresponding card config
file.

I'll fix the lock issue first.


thanks,

Takashi
