Yes, there is an error if NEWBUFFER is not defined. The makefiles and projects all define NEWBUFFER.
By defining NEWBUFFER, you incorporate a new multi-processor-safe and memory write-reorder-safe buffer. (Without NEWBUFFER, you are supposed to get the old buffer code, which is not safe in the presence of out-of-order writes, but I made a mistake. This has actually turned out to be a "feature" since it forced everyone to run with the less-tested NEWBUFFER code -- it's been in there awhile, and I haven't seen any complaints, so I feel pretty good about it being there. The announced plan is to take out the old buffer code and remove the NEWBUFFER switch in the next general cleanup.) -Roger _______________________________________________ media_api mailing list media_api@create.ucsb.edu http://lists.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/media_api
