Reading the manual page for usleep(), I see scary stuff:

| POSIX.1-2001  declares this function obsolete; use nanosleep(2) instead.
| POSIX.1-2008 removes  the  specification  of usleep().
| (...)
| The  interaction  of  this  function  with the SIGALRM signal, and with
| other  timer  functions  such  as  alarm(2),  sleep(3),   nanosleep(2),
| setitimer(2),  timer_create(3),  timer_delete(3),  timer_getoverrun(3),
| timer_gettime(3), timer_settime(3), ualarm(3) is unspecified.

IIRC, our test cases do use alarm() (to fail on deadlocks), and VLC does
use nanosleep() (or clock_nanosleep()) and timer_*()...
