Using Python 2.6, don't hate me.
I have select.poll, but I'm looking for something like ppoll instead. From
the Linux man page:
ppoll()
The relationship between poll() and ppoll() is analogous to the
relationship between select(2) and pselect(2): like pselect(2),
ppoll() allows an application to safely wait until either a file
descriptor becomes ready or until a signal is caught.
Technically, *I* don't want this, it's one of my work-colleagues. He says:
"My high-level goal is to run a callback function whenever the alsa mixer
level changes. The C alsa API provides snd_mixer_elem_set_callback, but the
Python API (import alsaaudio) seems to need me to get poll(2) descriptors"
