interesting. i'd like to ask you how you work around Python's
inherently realtime-prohibiting memory allocation and garbage
collection scheme. have you replaced it with a RT-compatible
equivalent, or are you simply hoping brk(2) is never called?

also, how do you work around the Big Python Lock and the malloc(3)
and free(3) libc locks? afaik, PortAudio uses multi-threading and
callbacks (well, Jack does so PortAudio via Jack must do so, too),
which clashes with the BPL.

please correct any wrong assumptions, of course.

cheers,
