There is no special handling in alsa-lib or aplay program itself about
this signal; it's just "paused" by the terminal, so no data is fed.
And, after the resume, it deals with the standard XRUN error
handling.

That said, it's a sort of XRUN injection.  (IIRC, someone explicitly
requested to keep this "feature" in axfr, too.)
