You've not articulated the problem you're trying to fix here, what in
concrete terms is the program trying to accomplish and why should it
succeed?

This is using the OSS interfaces which really haven't ever been
especially supported for ASoC.

This means we've opened up a race where the stream is configured but not
started where the opposite direction can configure a different setup.
Since starting both directions very close together is a common operation
it seems likely to cause issues.
