When I shutdown Kaffine and later restart it I get device busy messages.

I have managed to get the card working reliably - appears that I also had a problem with the sound system (set to Auto) and it appears that was causing the active tuner to hang when Kaffine was closed. Choosing ESD for sound (on my system) worked. I think that is still a bug but not sure if it relates to Kaffine or to the Dip0700 driver.
