Kernel 2.4.1 I have sound support, OSS and my soundcard (sb) configured as modules If I just play a sound on /dev/dsp, I get the following after the program exits: mixcoac:~> cat /proc/modules sb 2000 0 (autoclean) sb_lib 33504 0 (autoclean) [sb] uart401 6224 0 (autoclean) [sb_lib] sound 55280 0 (autoclean) [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3664 5 (autoclean) [sb_lib sound] This means that the sound modules are not longer used and thus, removable. Everything OK so far. The problem occurs when /dev/dsp is blocked by the above described process, and another process (say SOX, XMMS and such) attempts to write to the same device. After the two of them finish, the usage count is not reset for some reason, like mixcoac:~> cat /proc/modules sb 2000 1 (autoclean) sb_lib 33504 0 (autoclean) [sb] uart401 6224 0 (autoclean) [sb_lib] sound 55280 0 (autoclean) [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 3664 5 (autoclean) [sb_lib sound] So, the module cannot be removed and stays loaded forever. This problem is 100% reproductable. What's wrong? any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauricio Martínez Northeastern University [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
