Hmm.. I thought I had taken care of it. I should have been more
careful.. in fact, the thing will crash if somebody uses select/poll on a
sound device. In other words, don't use it for recording, or even better,
use only the mixer.

The fix isn't very obvious this time, and there is a lot to be done, so
I'll let Hannu redesign it (if he so chooses). The function a driver has
to provide for polling has changed its parameters (hence the warning), and
with just a couple of examples and no inner knowledge of how the sound
driver works... it would be tough for me to rewrite it. Especially that
internally it calls another 3 sub-polls for each sound subsystem and each 
of those has to be rewritten as well.
