The patch seems to introduce another issue. Aplay does not terminate after
playback and keeps the handle to the file open as well. I use aplay for
notifications on my system, so ended up with no free file descriptors after a
while. This behaviour is not present in the unpatched version.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Sebastian
