Ok, I think this one should be considered for inclusion.
I don't think it has anything to do with oops in empress_querycap,
but who knows ;)
Compile tested only.

decrementing dev->empress_users should be done as last action of ts_release,
because it sleeps and write access to dev->empress_started is not protected
in any way
(additionally closing thread could mute audio after opening thread unmuted it)
