  If only one of your threads is making calls in linuxaudiodev, there
shouldn't be a problem.

  linuxaudiodev.c doesn't seem to have any BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS blocks,
it might be safe to use from different threads simultaniously (though what
happens as a result probably depends on your sound driver).  I wouldn't
recommend doing this.
