printf()s. Well, they aren't printf()s anymore, but you get the point.

The important routines are the open and close ones, both in the specific
driver and in the MI audio code. Somewhere in the open routines, the
driver's deciding that the device is in use. Somewhere in the close
routine, the driver isn't being marked as no-longer-in-use. Once you know
why it's considered busy, you can figure out why the close routine isn't
un-busying it.

That'll be your bug.

Take care,
