the kernel implementation of atomic integer writes suggested otherwise, if my memory holds correct. since the kernel doesn't have atomic float ops, and i did see kernel code for this that noted the issue, i think my memory is correct. but its been wrong so many times before. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
