Hi again Risto,
   I tried looking in through an ssh tunnel, removing the modules and
watching the list of modules still loaded. The first list is before I
start the rmmod and the second is during while the terminal is hung at
'Unloading Alsa modules'. No difference that I can see to apparently
whatever is causing the problem stops anything from happening.

   This Mac Mini is running MythTV while I'm restarting Alsa. That
isn't a problem on another MythTV frontend box that is X86 based as
shown at the bottom of this email.

   Maybe I should take this to alsa-dev? I'm not sure if the
developers read this list.

Thanks,
Mark
