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?
