Already written:
"Devices or resource are NOT busy at the time,
no others processes used them."

User/s and/or permissions are NOT an issue.

Looking at the gui while selecting devices/frontends, queries behave
erratically.
Those three states emerged in in random order:

DVB device: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 -- Warning: already in use
Frontend ID: Afatech    AF9013 Subtype: DVB-T

DVB device: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
Frontend ID: Afatech    AF9013 Subtype: DVB-T

DVB device: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 -- Warning: already in use
Frontend ID: Could not get card info for card
/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 Subtype: Unknown error

Besides this is also happening on machine with MythTV v0.24.3 -
fixes/0.24 - 0.24.20110505-1, regardless of device in use.
