I'm still unsure if the musl fallback code is correct or not.

Right, this should cover all cases of the ioctl itself misbehaving.
In addition, we still need to disallow the mmap() interface on compat
kernels then. Strictly speaking, we could allow the snd_pcm_mmap_status
but not snd_pcm_mmap_control to be mapped, but I'm not sure if
that's better than disallowing both.
