There are more than a couple of jack-apps that process in background
thread(s) (e.g. convolvers), not to mention synths that stream from disk
or capture apps that write to disk.
In all these cases it's not so difficult to allow freewheeling.
Jconvolver for example should not have problems with it even
when using a number of lower-priority threads to do most of the
work. Any convolution app using zita-convolver can do the same,
it's just a boolean argument to process().
