If you want to use sound as the rational for virtual bus then drop the
networking stuff and present a complete device/driver pairing based on
this sound stuff instead.

This seems bonkers - the whole point of something like virtual bus is
to avoid madness like this.

Unregister does kfree? In general I've found that to be a bad idea,
many drivers need to free up resources after unregistering from their
subsystem.
