I am not familiar with libao and whether or not the PCM output
functionality is blocking or not (or configurable). If its behavior is
blocking:

audio_thread:
  while (running)
    mix_audio()
    output_audio()

If the behavior is non-blocking (i.e., the output_audio() function
returns immediately), you will have to go through the trouble of waiting
somehow until the device is ready to receive more data.
