+// cmRtSys.h
+// Implements a real-time audio processing engine.
+//
+// The audio system is composed a collection of independent sub-systems.
+// Each sub-system maintains a thread which runs asynchrounsly
+// from the application, the MIDI devices, and the audio devices.
+// To faciliate communication between these components each sub-system maintains 
+// two thread-safe data buffers one for control information and a second 
+// for audio data.
+//
+// The audio devices are the primary driver for the system. 
+// Callbacks from the audio devices (See #cmApCallbackPtr_t) 
+// inserts incoming audio samples into the audio
+// record buffers and extracts samples from the playback buffer.  
+// When sufficient incoming samples and outgoing empty buffer space exists
+// a sub-system thread is waken up by the callback. This triggers a DSP audio 
+// processing cycle which empties/fills the audio buffers. During a DSP
+// processing cycle control messages from the application and MIDI are blocked and
+// buffered. Upon completetion of the DSP cycle a control message
+// transfer cycles occurs - buffered incoming messages are passed to 
+// the DSP system and messages originating in the DSP system are
+// buffered by the audio system for later pickup by the application
+// or MIDI system.
+// 
+// Note that control messages that arrive when the DSP cycle is not
+// occurring can pass directly through to the DSP system.
+//
+// The DSP system sends messages back to the host by calling
+// cmRtDspToHostFunc_t provided by cmRtSysCtx_t. These
+// calls are always made from within an audio system call to 
+// audio or control update within cmRtCallback_t. cmRtDspToHostFunc_t
+// simply stores the message in a message buffer.  The host picks
+// up the message at some later time when it notices that messages
+// are waiting via polling cmRtSysIsMsgWaiting().
+//
+// Implementation: \n
+// The audio sub-systems work by maintaining an internal thread
+// which blocks on a mutex condition variable.
+// While the thread is blocked the mutex is unlocked allowing messages
+// to pass directly through to the DSP procedure via cmRtCallback().
+//
+// Periodic calls from running audio devices update the audio buffer. 
+// When the audio buffer has input samples waiting and output space
+// available the condition variable is signaled, the mutex is 
+// then automatically locked by the system, and the DSP execution
+// procedure is called via cmRtCallback().
+//
+// Messages arriving while the mutex is locked are queued and
+// delivered to the DSP procedure at the end of the DSP execution
+// procedure.
+//
+// Usage example and testing code:
+// See  cmRtSysTest().
