WRT to ARTS daemon, I have this problem with other sound cards in the
release, not just via audio. I believe someone in Paris told me that if
you wait XX seconds (30? 60?) of inactivity, the ARTS daemon will
release /dev/dsp so that other apps can grab it.
About the sound information, 2.4.x kernels don't have /proc/sound
anymore, thus via_audio definitely doesn't provide it. Maybe kcontrol
is using this to get its info?
