Module programming, execution and debugging

[stoermelder (Ben)]

There has been a discussion about that topic not long ago: you shouldn’t use mutex or similar stuff on the audio thread, say in Module::process.

Why do gfx issues cause clicks and pops?

btw, my speculation about plugins possibly using locks incorrectly comes from, a) experience, and b) there is a ton of literature around this. Here is a typical example (but there are many): Just google “audio thread mutex click pop”. http://www.rossbencina.com/code/real-time-audio-programming-101-time-waits-for-nothing
