#14 esd based player fix

[Anonymous]

When playing background music using an esd(esound)
based player
(timidity in esd mode in my case) The graphics thread
hangs.

The following patch fixed this. Also a patch for SDL on
NetBSD for esd fixed a problem of sound effects hanging
the graphics. Now I have both background, and sound
effects playing at the same time on NetBSD!
