Title:
  [SRU] Loss of USB device causes zita-ajbridge to run cpu at 100% and
  hang

Status in zita-ajbridge package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in zita-ajbridge source package in Focal:
  Fix Released
Status in zita-ajbridge source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * zita-ajbridge allows bridging extra alsa devices to jackd as a client. 
     If that extra device is a USB device and is unplugged, the bridge uses 
     100% cpu and slows the rest of the system to a crawl. The only way to 
     stop this process is with a kill -9.

  [Test Case]

   * Using (Ubuntu) Studio Controls, start Jack with built-in sound card and 
     a USB device.

   * Unplug USB device. Bridge will now use 100% CPU process and stall the 
     system.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The upstream version has one single change consisting of the bugfix to 
     prevent the 100% CPU usage on disconnect. While it is possible that 
     this fix doesn't do what it advertises, the regression potential here 
     is slim to none.

  [Additional Info]

   * As already noted, this fix is already in Groovy.

  
  Original bug report follows:

  zita-ajbridge allows bridging extra alsa devices to jackd as a client.
  If that extra device is a USB device and is unplugged, the bridge uses
  100% cpu and slows the rest of the system to a crawl. The only way to
  stop this process is with a kill -9.

  However, there is already a bugfix release upstream. The release notes for version 0.8.4 (which is already in Groovy) are only one line:
  "zita-ajbridge 0.8.4     (05/04/2020)

  * Fixed 100% CPU on sound card disconnect.
