[Bug 40737] Re: Unplugging Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) still causing system crash on Ubuntu Edgy

[Toby Smithe]

However, with this device, the modules don't seem to be fully hotplug
aware; the interface between ALSA and the hardware has been destroyed,
as ALSA no longer regards the card as existing, but when the card is re-
inserted, the module does not recreate this interface. I am forced to
close all the applications that once referenced the device, then unload
the modules. Only then will the system notice if I plug the card in; it
reloads the modules and notifies ALSA. The same happens if I eject the
card (modules still loaded), insert it (modules don't recognize new
card), unload modules (modules are loaded, so don't care), re-load
modules (interface is set up by modules, which have noticed that there
is a card to talk to). My point is that surely the modules should poll
the device at regular intervals, and if the card is plugged in again,
reactivate the communication? If not, then why not? Or should I open
another bug?
