Not yet. 
Basically, data coming from the debiirq from filters which are set to 
already be played back internally should not cause writes to the playback
buffer. There is a check missing somewhere. 
It will not be played back anyway (those checks are not missing ...)
and e.g. mode switching is handled by the firmware in this case
(or did that change?).

Yes. One should probably instead use the filter mutex for such calls
from user space.
