Thanks.  I will look that way.  I can see that reading from
ossdsp is really, really easy, and that would be easy enough to do.

If I can bother you again, just a little....
Perhaps borrow from your linux audio experience...

Will a reader theread with a large FIFO be sufficient?
Might I be forced to go to RT-Linux and use an rt-fifo?
(I hope not.  I'm tempted to just implement the multi-threaded
approach and show emperically that it is "good enough", even if
its not guaranteed to avoid data loss in ANY situation)

It might be neat-oh to add the reader thread to SoX, so that
it could still be used as a front-end to an app like mine.
However, I can understand that it might be contrary to the
goal of keeping SoX as simple as possible.
