I think the semantic change is ok.  Did you change FIONREAD to lock the
sockbuf?  I think it would be necessary to avoid races with pulseaudio:
sb_acc is modified before sb_ctl, so there could be windows where
sbavail(sb) - sb->sb_ctl gives a larger.

And, it is not really safe to lock the sockbuf itself, since it may be
overwritten by a listen(2) call.  SOCK_RECVBUF_LOCK(so) should be used
instead.
