The control device node creation can be used as synchronization # point. All other devices that belong to a card are created in the kernel # before it. However unfortunately due to the fact that siblings are forwarded # out of order by udev this fact is lost to applications. # # OTOH before an application can open a device it needs to make sure that all # its device nodes are completely created and set up. # # As a workaround for this issue we have added the udev rule above which will # generate a 'change' event on the main card device from the 'add' event of the # card's control device. Due to the ordering semantics of udev this event will # only be relayed after all child devices have finished processing properly. # When an application needs to listen for appearing devices it can hence look # for 'change' events only, and ignore the actual 'add' events. # # When the application is initialized at the same time as a device is plugged # in it may need to figure out if the 'change' event has already been triggered # or not for a card. To find that out we store the flag environment variable # SOUND_INITIALIZED on the device which simply tells us if the card 'change' # event has already been processed.
