    output/alsa: use a new I/O thread with real-time scheduling · d29d186d
    Max Kellermann authored
    The normal I/O event thread can have a large latency, e.g. when
    libgnutls loads all TLS CA certificates for a https connect.  This
    makes it unreliable for the ALSA I/O notifications, and causes ring
    buffer xruns.  To avoid interfering with high latency events such as
    CURL's, we move the ALSA I/O events to a separate I/O thread which
    also obtains real-time scheduling (if possible).
    
    Closes #221
