Your patch only fix the lock issue only.

If one application using "front" device for playback , the audio signal
changed from right to left when the other application using "rear" device
for recording.,

if one application using "hw:0,0" for playback , stop to hear any audio
whenever other application using "rear" device for recording

so this look like the playback is affected whenever other application use
"front" or "rear" device for capturing,
