Summary:                    Background leaves files open indefinately
Description: 
After a Background(mysound) the sound file stays open, according to lsof.

This leads after a while to a total crippling of asterisk since it can't
open any socket, getting "Too many open files" or "Can't create alert
pipe!".

I've uploaded 14384.patch. The fix is so simple that it almost feels too
simple, but I understand why it was needed and why the problem did not
manifest itself earlier. Please give it a sanity check to be sure that the
error is cleared up. Thanks!
