Where is gb_audio_manager_get_module() called from?  So far as I can see it's
never used.  Why not just delete it?

I agree with this.  I suspected all callers might have guaranteed
that the "id" value passed would be always valid, but... there are
no callers.

It is a simple function, and could be added back again if it is
needed in the future (possibly even by reverting the commit that
removes it).

If you do this, please remove gb_audio_put_module() in the same
patch.  It too has no callers.

Thank you.
