          tarballs. This reduces the size of the tarballs but requires
          gengetopt to build the tarball.
        - Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+       - The alsa writer used poll fds instead of computing timeouts.
        - Corrupt mp3 files are handled more gracefully.
        - sched: Optimized zero timeouts.
        - vss timeout cleanups.
