A race at creating a lock file in state_lock() was discovered recently: namely, between the first open(O_RDWR) and the second open(O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL) calls, another alsactl invocation may already create a lock file, then the second open() will return EEXIST, which isn't handled properly and treated as a fatal error. In this patch, we check EEXIST case and try again open() with O_RDWR. This must succeed usually, and if it fails, handle finally as the fatal error.
