I have had reproducible lock-ups on shut-down (at the shutting down ALSA 
stage) of my AMD64 machine (Asus M3A78Pro motherboard, BIOS 1701 
01/27/2011, CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor) running the 64 bit 
Linux kernel more recent than 3.12 when *both* radeon.audio=1 was set 
and I had been running audacity 2.0.5. (iommu=noaperture is also set).

The problem was reproducible with the stock Debian kernel 
linux-image-3.13-rc6-amd64 version 3.13~rc6-1~exp1.

The machine is using an ATI/AMD 3850HD video card with a DVI cable to a 
DVI input on my monitor, and the default audio device is the 
motherboard's on-board audio device:

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 
Azalia (Intel HDA)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
[AMD/ATI] RV670 [Radeon HD 3690/3850]
01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV670/680 
HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 3690/3800 Series]

     ALSA: hda - Fix possible races in HDMI driver

     Some per_pin fields and ELD contents might be changed dynamically in
     multiple ways where the concurrent accesses are still opened in the
     current code.  This patch fixes such possible races by using eld->lock
     in appropriate places.

When running audacity from the command line there was the following output:

ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:618:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave

I am happy to supply further information or run further tests to help in 
isolating the problem and verifying a solution.

Arthur.
