signals delivered to a process writing to the audio device the
system: if you try
cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp (or cat /dev/zero > /dev/pcaudio)
and press Ctrl-C : for a second or two the system appears to freeze
(e.g. the cursor will disappear if you move the mouse, xclock
blocks, etc.). I think that interrupts etc. still run so the problem
is not too terrible, but still annoying
[ The problems appears to also be in isa/pcaudio.c, though that is ignored ]

select/poll and DEVFS changes, which are limited to an include/define
in sound.h and the actual select/poll implementation in sound.c
[ This commit is blind, but the code is similar enough that there will
hopefully be no problems. ]
changes:
o rip the old select from his distribution to prevent extra pollution
o the code now uses audio dma, helps reduce clicks
o improved card support, should work in full duplex on sb16 cards
o add better voxware ioctl support pointed out by Joao Carlos Mendes
Luis <jonny@coppe.ufrj.br>
o remove an unused file that I included for more complete history
o and MANY other changes
I have personally tested this code with a CS4237 based card and an AWE32
(non-PnP). Both cards worked fine in 8bit and 16bit mode.
