The dmasound driver occasionally hangs a process on exit. Apparently there is a possible case where the sound HW stops draining output samples and the driver waits forever in its release() callback. It should check for signals(), but it seems signal_pending() never returns 1 when the process is beeing killed (implicit release() of files on exit). This patch adds a safety timeout to the release() function to make sure we can at least close the driver. I'll try to find the reason we aren't driving samples later, but it is better to have a safety just incase the sound clock goes berserk for some reason.
