Sorry, looks like it simply got forgotten.  The patch can't be used
as-is, though.

Instead of patching mixer.c, what about creating wrappers (in a
platform-specific file, say src/unix/upmixer.c) around the relevant
_mixer_* functions which do the synchronisation as required, then making
uoss.c, etc. refer to the wrappers if the pthreads are used?
