Douglas,
I think my wife Ariane, who plays First Violin in the Neue Philharmonie
Westfalen, can relate to your description of the activities of an orchestra
musician.
A few years back she was reprimanded when an audience member told management
they had seen (from up in a balcony) a female

Hi Andy-
I should apologize for
Would it be possible to design a callback that dynamically filled the
buffer as it was being called, or if the buffer didn't exist, create
it and put one sample in it? that way there wouldn't be any dropped
calls in the process. Or am I missing something?

While raw speed does reduce the risk of missing deadlines, you need an
infinitely fast computer to guarantee hard realtime performance with code that
isn't designed for it. Also, theoretically, not even that helps, unless you
also have a realtime OS. And then there's I/O, synchronization and

My point was that the checkpoint raised by callbacks feeding a sample
buffer may come from resistances outside the technical world. Boulez
sees timbre as the enemy of harmony. Could very well be that the
callback is the result of a cultural outlook, and

It certainly helps when you can do interesting stuff in suboptimal ways, and
still end up using only a few percent of one of your many CPU cores. :-)
Actually, this is my routine for determining whether or not I'm living
in the future: look up suboptimal in the dictionary. If it isn't
there,
