Bug#705435: [kfreebsd] hangs on pulseaudio --start

[Steven Chamberlain]

On my system the daemon fails to start in any case with 'Daemon startup
failed', but that is a separate issue and less serious.  There seem to
be two separate places where pulseaudio --start may hang indefinitely on
kfreebsd:

1. after printing 'Daemon startup failed' - the attached patch fixes
this hang (I believe some real-time signals are being blocked, which are
necessary for kFreeBSD's threads implementation, LinuxThreads, to work
properly);

2. before printing 'Daemon startup failed' - this happens approx. 10x
less frequently (so applying the patch is already an improvement) - I'm
not sure yet what causes this.
