devfs OSS /dev/sound/* problem.

["mjander " <mjander@embedded.cl>]

Hello,

I noticed the  following bug:

If i load more than one soundcard driver  (example ens1371 and
intel8x0),
with OSS support i  get a error message  from "devfs", that it 
"could not append
to /dev/sound", and the second  soundcard is  unable to create its
OSS /dev/sound/*
file nodes.

I noticed similar bugs in other OSS sound drivers before, but it
semes that very few people  use devfs. Yesterday i checked with
0.9rc8d (previous tests with 0.9rc7) and the problem is  still there.

I semes to me that the file node index passes to the corresponding
devfs_register() calls is static rather incremental or -1 for
automatic allocation as it should be.

Does this behave the same with any 2.5 kernel? I'm to much a
coward to try 2.5, last time i did, i lost very important data.

Kernel 2.4.20  + xfs
Dist: Debian SID
ALSA: 0.9rc8d
ARCH: i386


Best Regards

Manuel Jander.
