It's not necessary here, since the device is reset and all of this are
happened automatically. But in the device remove it makes sense also to
disable events before calling snd_card_free(), since the device is still
able to send notifications at that moment. Thanks!

If I understood you right, that's exactly how resume is implemented now
in the driver. Although we fully restart substream on the device side,
from an application point of view it is resumed exactly at the same
position.

And an application must be aware of such possible situation? Since I
have no doubt in alsa-lib, but I don't think that for example tinyalsa
can handle this right.
