> Can you confirm that it actually works as opposed to open() working ?
> Does it produce correct values ?
Yes, open() now works and it also produces correct values.
It will continue to work, even if I use v4l again, until
I reboot.
> Do you know whether this occurs with all joysticks ?
Alas, I don't know. I'd especially like to know if USB joysticks
work like this. Maybe somebody else on this list could try to
reproduce the problem.

Nope. It goes to some dedicated $5 computer speakers. The v4l-based
webcams that also cause this problem don't have any audio either.
That was a good thought, but I'm pretty sure it's not audio related.
> Could you try compiling the joystick drivers into the kernel ?
Sure. It didn't change anything. /dev/jso: No such device. However,
now I can't rmmod and insmod adi to fix it. :)
