Instead of letting ALSA block for us (and potentially allowing something stupid on certain hardware or drivers), we do the sleeping ourselves. We calculate the sleep to be a fraction of period_time to avoid oversleeping (and thus audible skipping).
Music Player Daemon (MPD)
http://www.musicpd.org
A daemon for playing music of various formats. Music is played through the
server's audio device. The daemon stores info about all available music,
and this info can be easily searched and retrieved. Player control, info
retrieval, and playlist management can all be managed remotely.
To install MPD, see INSTALL.
