1) Can i use native-skin functions and POSIX-skin functions together
in one user space program?

2) I had a questions about skin timers and you answered it:

"and if a skin request periodic mode, a software
timer is started to provide the skin timebase. So, if each skin has a
different period, each skin will get a tick at the period it
requested."

What does it mean when you say each skin will get a tick? Getting a
tick means that a hardware timer interrupt happens? Each skin gets a
tick means when a function of that skin is called? So when that
function returns it will not get that tick?
As far as i understood the effect of these soft timers are seen for
some functions of a skin and the effect is based on that function. Is
a soft timer able to effect and change the next shot time of the
underlying hardware timer?( I think the answer is yes!)
