When the emulation is paused and the ALSA backend is used, make the audio
thread wait on a condition variable instead of busy-waiting. This commit
fixes bug #7729
Since the ALSA API is not thread-safe, calls to snd_pcm_drop() and snd_pcm_prepare()
in AlsaSound::Clear() are protected by the same mutex as the condition variable in AlsaSound::SoundLoop()
to make sure that we do not call these functions while a call to
snd_pcm_writei() is ongoing.
This fixes a race condition:
Before this commit, there was a race condition when starting a game:
Core::EmuThread(), after having started (but not necessarily completed)
the initialization of the audio thread, calls Core::SetState() which calls
CCPU::EnableStepping(), which in turns calls AudioCommon::ClearAudioBuffer().
This means that SoundStream::Clear() can be called before
AlsaSound::AlsaInit() has completed.
