Use SND_PCM_NONBLOCK, and perform all snd_pcm_writei() calls in the IOThread. Use a lockless queue to copy data from the OutputThread to the IOThread. This rather major change aims to improve MPD's internal latency. All waits are now under MPD's control, instead of blocking inside libasound2. As a side effect, an output's filter is now decoupled from the actual device I/O, which solves a major latency problem with the conversion filter on slow CPUs and small period buffers.
