I do not want to test if the sound is working but if audio is currently being processed by the card.
For example, I find in bothersome that the freerunner will suspend while I am listening to music or using it as a phone. My hope is that there is/are some test(s) I can issue programatically that will tell me if one of those two events are occurring. As I mentioned, I can easily determine if a program has bound itself to the sound card (e.g., lsof) but not if audio is actually streaming. In particular, the phone kit is always bound to the card so lsof is not a useful test in that case.
