Interesting read, even if much of it is a bit over my head at this time.

However, I've noticed this horrible quote:

    “Both read and write locks the buffer so it the pointers of the

    buffer will be maintained consistent”
    – JACK Wiki description of using ringbuffers

    (http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/Dev/LatencyBufferProcess?vers...)
Well, seems like Ross links to a specific version of this page and the

latest version only has an additional comment that says this stuff is

at least half-wrong

(http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/Dev/LatencyBufferProcess?vers...)
It would be nice if someone knowledgeable could fix this page instead

and ask Ross to link to the page in general instead of a specific

outdated version.
Keeping wrong or half-true information doesn't help anyone.
