I have a program that sends midi events to the /dev/midi0 device.

It open the device with open() for read/write. Sometimes it sends a lot of events

and the device stops send. (Nonblocking) Then the device is dead. I stop the process and

trying open the device and it is stil busy. The hardware is SB16 or SB128 PCI.

Im thinking of sending some IOCTL to give it a reset signal, but I cant send IOCTL

the device is busy. Ugly deadlock...
