currently there's no low-priority messaging in Miller's pd version, but there is in the devel branch. It's one of the features that have been there for some time and i'm trying to provide a patch for Miller, so that it can make it into vanilla PD some time in the future. Hopefully the auto-discard mechanism of the patch tracker will blow up before that time. Don't expect the feature to be available soon.
So, how does one use that feature?
Is it that all the audio is high-priority and all the non-audio is low-priority?
Isn't that basically the way it is now? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't audio data processed first in each cycle, then message data?
just think: - if you have a lot of audio calculations going on, does the message engine stutter? - if you have a lot of message calculations going on, does the audio engine stutter?
so which part of pd is higher prioritized: messages or audio?
and oh, you can have priorities even without threads...
