Removing a module that is in use by some application will crash the system.
In OSS 3.99.x we used to have -f option in soundoff that automatically kills all applications using OSS. However even this is too dangerous because lazy system admin may accidently kill applications that should not be killed. It's better that the applications need to be killed manually before running soundoff again. Btw, I applied your previous two patches for ossplay.
