As I am doing quite a lot multi-threaded programming currently I can tell you 
that Qt makes it rather easy. But dealing with multiple threads can still 
have complicated corners.

All the examples in the qt docs about the different locking mechanisms 
implement a ringbuffer / fifo. Either with mutex, semaphore or 
read/write-lock...

Have fun,
