Thanks a lot David. That was most helpful.

Also - and I don't know if this is actually a
realistic situation - how would I
handle an all alsa setup? Would there be anything preventing me just linking to
the ring buffer itself?
It's just a ringbuffer, little thing. If you're concerned about a
dependency you can just copy the Jack one or choose from any number of
others floating around the web.
Here's my two, in C and C++ flavours, FWIW:
http://svn.drobilla.net/zix/trunk/zix/ring.h
http://svn.drobilla.net/zix/trunk/zix/ring.c
http://svn.drobilla.net/lad/trunk/raul/raul/RingBuffer.hpp
Last I checked, these, the Jack one, and the one(s) in Ardour are doing
the same things as far as barriers and correctness are concerned. I
can't rigorously claim they are correct, but they seem correctish and
several people have hammered on them with many threads with no
observable error.
There was a test suite / ringbuffer shootout (by Olivier Guilyardi and
subsequently tinkered with by others) called "rbtest", but the
repository seems to have fallen off the face of the Internet and I can't
find it anymore.
Cheers,
