John, I'm pretty sure that would work. The code in pa_blocking.c could be
extended to handle it (the mutexes are already there).

Victor, you disappoint me!  I thought you were an academic and
academics do snot have holidays, just days when the students have
vacated the university....

Thanks for working that out.  I had got as far as realising that the
pa-blocking stuff was synchronous with krate, but then could not see
how it worked on any other platform.

Suppose the callback thread waited on a mutex until there was enough
audio before releasing it, and the play code could release the mutex
when there was enough.  Would be easier if the audio buffers were a
multiple of the krate, but not essential.  Would that work?
