If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit da10816e3d923565b470fec78a674baba794ed33 upstream. ALSA OSS sequencer spews a kernel error message ("ALSA: seq_oss: too many applications") when user-space tries to open more than the limit. This means that it can easily fill the log buffer. Since it's merely a normal error, it's safe to suppress it via pr_debug() instead.
