Careful with fully switching to non-blocking unconditionally. I've seen libxine
failing to play the last audio frames because of a non-blocking snd_pcm_drain
and snd_pcm_close.

AFAICS you're not using snd_pcm_drain, so gstreamer might not need blocking
mode at all, but as I don't know how the end of a stream and closing of the
output is handled I thought I point this out so that you can check it doesn't
introduce regressions...

I also just tested your patch and so far it seems to work alright.
