That sounds like a broken design somewhere (e.g., does opening a sound device r/w constantly generate change events?), but if that's what it is, I'll talk with Mark about it. It seems to me the design of hdparm involves using an fd to perform actions on, and it's not at all clear to me they can be performed with an fd opened r/o. As I say, though, I'll speak with upstream. Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
