Okay, so, like, I didn't check the reply-to address when I sent that message and it went out to everyone when it wasn't supposed to (or else I wouldn't have hogged bandwidth with an attachement). But I'm actually glad I made the mistake, because your respone...
"high-priority system callbacks": Would you (or someone else) mind elaborating or point me in a direction I can read up on this technique? Given my level of programming experience, I can say without shame that I have no idea what this means. "CoreAudio": I presume we would access this by declares? As for blaming the language, it's tough to be a relative rank novice and not having the same level of knowledge as other long-time programmers or folks such as yourself. At the same time, some things just aren't all that obvious, like those you mentioned above. So, I can really only go by observed behaviors. I'd say "nothing personal", but you help write this so inadvertantly it is.
