If I try to ctrl-C out of aplay while it is playing, playback stops and
it prints "Aborted by signal Interrupt..." twice and hangs in there.
Further ctrl-C's have no effect. State of the process in a ps listing is
"SL". A "kill pid" from root makes it print "Aborted by signal
Terminated..." but the process is still there (same state). Killing the
jack server finally makes aplay quit.
