From: Muli Ben-Yehuda trident_write_voice_regs() was getting called with the card spinlock held in only some cases. Fix it. Explanation: we allocate a new virtual channel in open, and then we frob some hardware registers (in write_voice_regs) for that channel. But the hardware registers are shared with other channels, which may be trying to frob the some registers (albeit for another channel) via ioctl(SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED).
