        <pre>Dear developers,

I had posted a question to mailing-list before:
<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-December/022822.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-December/022822.html</a>

When I tried to load 'module-alsa-sink' with 'mmap=0 tsched=1' parameters,
tsched(timer-based scheduling) becomes disabled by default.

Currently, it seems tsched is allowed only mmap supported ALSA devices. But, I
found able to use tsched with 'mmap=0' option.
For instance, unix_write() function is for non-mmap driven function that was
written and regarded to tsched mode together.

Please refer below test patch for supporting tsched mode on non-mmap driven
ALSA configuration.

Thanks in advance,
KimJeongYeon
