There's an easier way to acquire this information:

   $ cat /proc/asound/default/pcm0*/sub0/status

If it reads "closed", then nobody is using the card, otherwise, there
would be an entry for owner_pid, thus preventing the card to change
clock modes outside the multiples of 32/44.1/48 (*1, *2 or *4 depending
on SS/DS/QS).
