We don't want "pre_event_timeout" to be negative because that would
result in a stack traces in dmesg when we schedule a negative timeout.
In the original code "HZ * val" could overflow so I just moved the 
check for negative below the multiply.

Also the code in snd_seq_oss_ioctl() deliberately set the timeout to -1
which is wrong.

This would bring another side-effect.  When a value like 0x80001234
is passed, this would result in a positive value in turn.
We need additional check like below.

Perhaps a recalc_val() is here better ? That would avoid duplication
and make sure that they behave equal.
(see: > -		if (val <= 0)
      > -			val = -1;
)


int  recalc_val(int hz, int val)
{
	if (val < 0)
		return 0
        val = (hz * val) / 10;
	if (val < 0)
		return 0

	return val;
}


just my 2 cents,
not a tested patch.
