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!)
