from alsa-lib/src/pcm.c:

/**
 * \brief set async mode
 * \param pcm PCM handle
 * \param sig Signal to raise: < 0 disable, 0 default (SIGIO)
 * \param pid Process ID to signal: 0 current
 * \return 0 on success otherwise a negative error code
 *
 * A signal is raised every period.
 */
int snd_pcm_async(snd_pcm_t *pcm, int sig, pid_t pid)

.. so you can pass your favorite signal to the 2nd argument.

or do i misunderstand your question?
