I am thinking either w_scan is doing something it should not, in which case we should inform its author to have this looked at, or the message does not need to be there? > > The kernel seems happy while having the device > physically pulled out.

I am thinking about suspend/resume, the poorman's way, which is to unload/reload. One interesting thing to try would be to pause but not quit the application - either just press pause, or say, 'gdb <mplayerbinary> <pid>', and see if 'modprobe -r' can be made to work under that sort of condition, if it isn't already. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
