changeset 6633:769246a4eb41

cVS: --------------------------------------------------------------------- added get/set_sound controls stripped down initializing changed play() again outsourced xrun-handling added some cases to get_space() as xrun-handling added nonblock-mode added mmap-mode added subopts for mmap and noblock called mmap and noblock could be accessed as -ao alsa9:noblock:mmap
