i remember i
have read a statement about a lock free ringbuffer
implemented in C somewhere.
courtesy of paul davis:
you should use a lock free ringbuffer. we will be adding example code
to the example-clients directory soon. existing code is in ardour's
source base (for C++). the example code will be in
example-clients/capture_client.c.
where ardour is
ardour.sf.net. (i doubt there is anything hugely non-C in
the ringbuffer code proper).
