New subject: [alsa-devel] [patch] snd_pcm_dmix_close: raise semaphore if unable to discard

18 Oct 2007

This patch causes snd_pcm_dmix_close() to up a semaphore after downing it 
if it is unable to discard it.  It prevents some deadlock that I am 
getting when a couple of applications interact and one of them closes the 
device and later re-opens it.
