fixing motherboard sound

[Ross Lippert]

OK, I found one of the problems that the festival app was
having playing on my system.  Apparently, the authors assumed
that a SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl() was not necessary before a close()
because the close() is supposed to sync.  I have found, however,
that it does make a difference.

Is close() supposed to cause a SYNC, as far as anyone knows?
