libcm/cmRtSys.h

// 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().
