The INSTALL file for the ALSA driver describes a special control file named
"/proc/asound/0/pcmD0o". It says that a line like the following can be written
to this file:

    Playback <app_name> <fragments> <fragment_size> [<options>]

The description of the <app_name> parameter says:

    <app_name> - name of application with (higher priority) or without path

Does anyone know what the phrase "higher priority" here actually means? Also,
what is the syntax for assigning a priority to an application?
