The snd_compr_open function would always return 0 even if the compressed ops open function failed, obviously this is incorrect. Looks like this was introduced by a small typo in: commit a0830dbd4e42b38aefdf3fb61ba5019a1a99ea85 ALSA: Add a reference counter to card instance This patch returns the value from the compressed op as it should.
