thanks to Carsten Weinhold for finding and fixing this:
pthread locks are _not_ fair (shocking news for me), so audio out has a
problem: the audio out loop holds the driver_lock almost always (since the
write() to the driver takes most of the time); other threads who want that
lock (like the frontend trying to change the volume) can starve;
the problem shows on kernel 2.6 with NPTL, but the potential is there in
all pthread implementations
