I bet it happens upon termination. That's

   http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/306

and is something weird on the new Juju firewire stack. It won't happen
on the old ieee1394.

We know it since Linux-2.6.32-rcX, when we were first able to run FFADO
on the new stack.

I've spent many hours trying to find the culprit, and so did two kernel
firewire developers and one FFADO dev.

I bet it's a race condition that could be fixed with a lock.


If you like to debug this issue, many FFADO users would be glad. ;)
