What about pthread_kill with a user defined signal

That might be better. I haven't tried doing it that way, myself. For
a watchdog timeout you might want to use SIGABRT. It can be useful to
dump core in these cases.
Of course I could provide extension functions
accepting a PaStream *
instead, I think it would be a better idea. You would have to include
pa_linux_alsa.h. Eventually I'm thinking this stuff should be part of
the common pa_unix utility functions, so an extension for the UNIX
implementations could be introduced.
That sounds fine.
Ross and the other PA developers have thought carefully about what to
make generic and what should be system-dependent, AFAICT.
