--- Comment #52 from Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky at FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm sorry to say, that trying to fix the kernel side will eventually lead to a
kernel memory leak. You can't allow user-space to hold kernel resources
forever.

For example when watching videos on Facebook with Firefox, sometimes audio
stops working, because too many audio devices are opened, due to a user-space
bug not caring to close the file handles.
