Testing multi-cards support (-soundhw all), I'm seeing errors that are likely due to busybox's sleep not supporting decimal numbers (“sleep 0.1” is called). Not a regression if I'm reading the diff correctly, but might be worth fixing at some point… Speaking of error messages, we're also getting invalid commands from amixer. Is that expected/known/tracked somewhere? (I think I've been seeing this for months, maybe years.) Back to the actual unblock request, that looks reasonable.
