Abstract
An exemplary audio system includes an audio engine, one or more shared buffers where each shared buffer is associated with a client application and one or more lock-free mechanisms to help ensure that a write position of a shared buffer stays equal to or ahead of a read position for that shared buffer and to ensure that a client application's failure to maintain a write position equal to or ahead of a read position does not prevent audio engine access to the shared buffer. Other exemplary technologies are also disclosed.
