I'm unable to duplicate this (the current 0.19 driver doesn't hang at all on
me now under any of my tests). Try to find a way to duplicate it (either by
playing a specific wav file using the play command, or by doing something in
particular to make artsd do it, or something else). If you can find a way
to duplicate it, then I can see about getting a proper fix for it.
