The already-in-use error is a long-standing problem of implicit fb
implementations. Recently the support for full duplex was introduced
and should work in some level, but I'm afraid that it's not perfect.
In particular, it may still depend on the order of the device opens.
Unfortunately I have no hardware to test that shows the behavior, so
it's a bit tough to debug from my side.
thanks,
