The cause of the problem is that AudioTrack::start() can fail if it is called from a newly created
thread that has the same ID as the AudioTrack callback thread that has just been stopped and not yet exited.
This is possible as the thread ID used by the Thread class is not the TID.
The fix consists in clearing the thread ID before exiting the thread loop.

This is a very simply implementation: upon receiving an IPC, if the handling
thread is at a background priority (the driver will have taken care of
propagating this from the calling thread), then stick it in to the background
scheduling group. Plus an API to turn this off for the process, which is
used by the system process.
This also pulls some of the code for managing scheduling classes out of
the Process JNI wrappers and in to some convenience methods in thread.h.
we could have several thread waiting on the condition and they all need to wake-up.
also added a debug "mTid" field in the class, which contains the tid of the thread (as opposed to pthread_t), this
is useful when debugging under gdb for instance.
