PortAudio developer Ross Bencina has started a new project to
address this need, including a set of lock-free algorithms based
on the atomic primitives.

I believe this will be very useful to many audio developers.
But, it is still in early stages of design.  There are pointers to
existing implementations in this Wiki...
