That would work fine since rest's behavior depends on the system driver. 
The al_idle function would have to be written to accomodate each system 
anyway, and systems that don't support idling would just yield. The only 
reason it wouldn't work is if the system in question has to explicitly 
idle the program, instead of being able to idle while resting an 
arbitrary amount of time. And even then it could still work.
