Sorry, the other thread idea is in order to avoid SIGIO. The thread

As I understand it, alsa can be asynchronous but it requires using SIGIO
which doesn't excite me. So I'd have to create another thread that
selects and fills a ringbuffer.
Ehrm ... How will putting SIGIO in another thread improve your
performance? The job still have to get done, no?
