[ explanation ]
and just remember not to actually do anything complicated from your
signal handler. ioctl(2), which is used for most ALSA user/kernel
space communication, is not async-safe, and thus cannot be used from a
signal handler without creating undefined behaviour. to quote from at
least one text:
"In general, applications should do only the minimum possible
in the handlers for asynchronous signals, such as setting a flag
or posting a semaphore."
