     of	units in between (e.g. volume control).

BUGS
     The PCM framework in FreeBSD, as of this writing, does not	handle device
     un-registrations in a properly abstracted manner, i.e. a detach request
     is	refused	by the PCM framework if	the device is in use.  For USB and
     supposedly	other detach-able busses, it is	necessary to allow the device
     un-registration to	complete successfully, otherwise the driver leaves
     wild pointers to invalid data structures and thus leading to a panic.
