Absolutely:

...
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\210\324"..., 1024) = 1024
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1149960, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 1166404, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40025000
mprotect(0x40138000, 40004, PROT_NONE) = 0
old_mmap(0x40138000, 24576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0x112000) = 0x40138000
old_mmap(0x4013e000, 15428, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4013e000
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x40016000, 59758) = 0
getpid() = 665
open("/dev/js0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
write(2, "jstest: No such device\n", 23jstest: No such device
) = 23
_exit(1) = ?

> Does it produce correct values ?

Yes, open() now works and it also produces correct values.
It will continue to work, even if I use v4l again, until
I reboot.

> Do you know whether this occurs with all joysticks ?

Alas, I don't know. I'd especially like to know if USB joysticks
work like this. Maybe somebody else on this list could try to
reproduce the problem.

Nope. It goes to some dedicated $5 computer speakers. The v4l-based
webcams that also cause this problem don't have any audio either.
That was a good thought, but I'm pretty sure it's not audio related.

> Could you try compiling the joystick drivers into the kernel ?

Sure. It didn't change anything. /dev/jso: No such device. However,
now I can't rmmod and insmod adi to fix it. :)
