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.
