Bug 204087

I have a particular USB capture device (this one: https://www.alza.cz/manhattan-usb-audio-video-grabber-d4941424.htm) which causes problems if I unplug the USB device while recording.

If I use arecord like this: arecord -f dat -d 20 -D hw:1,0 test.wav, then uplug the card while the recorsing is running, arecord will print an error and hang, and the card will still show up in lsusb.
If I unplug the card while not recording, it is removed correctly.

Output of arecord:
> 
>$ arecord -f dat -d 20 -D hw:1,0 test.wav
>Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
>arecord: pcm_read:2145: read error: No such device

arecord now hangs and can't be killed.


Here is my alsa-info.sh output: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=fe35240549bb5d9e292fdb93d31da96bf374317a.

Syslog output from attaching the card, then detaching it while recording:

I originally reported this bug to the pulseaudio developers, here is the original bug report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues/698

If anyone wants ssh access to a machine with the card in it, I can provide that, or post the card to a developer if they agree to post it back. but I will be away for the next week, and unavailable.
