I think an event would be better; userspace or possibly the in kernel
core can turn it into an error code if it wants to but from a driver
point of view the event seems simpler.  If the drivers try to do an
error code it has to keep track of which applications saw what and if
they're affected by a given change which is more trouble than it's
worth.

Though to be honest the race is almost always an application fighting
with itself over bidirectional audio so practically the problem isn't
often serious.
