Bug#367156: kmix: hangs linux usb detection and keeps cpu at 100% when unplugging a usb audio device

[michaelm <michael@www0.org>]

Package: kmix
Version: 4:3.5.2-2+b2
Severity: important


Unplugging a usb audio device (in this case a usb headset), has kmix
at 100% cpu usage. At the same time, it prevents linux from detecting 
replugging of the device. killing kmix fixes it. The problem only
appears if kmix was run after the usb device was detected and configured
by alsa and appeared on kmix's card list.
