Hmm, I get your point, but whatever the reason why, it should still not make any null pointer de-reference. However, did you see that this is for the i965G platform, which is 10 years old? Is the non-generic driver supporting this platform? > However, if you can fix it in generic driver, please make a patch and send > it to community. Well, I already wrote a patch that papers around the issue and will still report it in the logs[1], but this is not a proper patch. I do not have any background in the sound subsystem, so I do not know what are the correct assumptions to have, especially around the binding and unbinding of the driver. I am merely doing some QA/CI job here, and reporting the issue to you, who own this code. I am however willing to help, but not by configuring the system differently in order to get rid of the problem. This would be a workaround, not a fix.
