Anssi, thanks for your help.

1) In Fedora 21 (kernel 3.17.4), 
'fuser -v /dev/snd/*' shows below:
/dev/snd/controlC0:  xbing      2400 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  xbing      2400 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D3p:   xbing      2400 F...m pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0c:   xbing      2400 F...m pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p:   xbing      2400 F...m pulseaudio

After 'pulseaudio --kill' to kill pulseaudio (after disable autospawn),
lsmod shows refcount of snd_hda_intel is down from 7 to 2 as below:
$ lsmod | grep hda_intel
snd_hda_intel          30479  2

'rmmod snd_hda_intel' still shows this module is in use.

2) But, in Ubuntu 14.04.1 (kernel 3.13.0) DOES work after 'pulseaudio --kill', because lsmod shows refcount of snd_hda_intel is 5.

Any suggestions? Could it be because of kernel difference 3.17.4 vs 3.13.0?

Thanks.
