Hi,

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ALSA: oxfw: implement retries for scs1x at transaction failure http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2016-February/104579.ht...
In thread of the post, I got some comments about work to extend ALSA rawmidi core. I've investigated it in a few days ago and realized that it may not so light work, mainly because of a lack of unified state management[0].
In this development cycle, I'd like to give it up and use my time for the other work within my plan for the cycle. Please just apply these two patches.
[0] In short, the state management is understandable for developers who can understand it, and I'm not.

Applied both now. Thanks.
Thanks.
ALSA rawmidi core handles substreams for both directions, therefore state management may not so simple as we expected (at least, for driver based on packet streaming such as IEC 61883-1/6, there're more items to be considered. So as USB MIDI Device class, too, I think). I'd like to schedule the work to next developing cycle for Linux 4.7 or later.
