Hi,

per major requests, I added the code to change the default behavior of
opening devices.  In the former versions, the open call is blocked if
a device is in use.  In the current version, the open call is no
longer blocked but returns EBUSY immediately.

The default behavior can be controlled via the alsa config variable
"defaults.pcm.nonblock".  Currently, it's set to 1 in
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.  This can be overridden in either
/etc/asound.state or ~/.asoundrc if you would like to keep the old
behavior.

If anyone has objection to this change, please let me know.


Takashi
