avoid swapping memory #39

Open albertz opened 11 years ago

E.g. the player buffer. And the player struct. Maybe other stuff. So that readOutStream will never need to wait for swapped-out memory.

A simple/hacky cross platform solution would be to frequently (or after certain events) force a read on all important data.

To force the data to not-be-swapped-out, there is mlock and co on Linux, BSDs and MacOSX.

Doesn't really work that well. Still hiccups after sleep. Indicates that it still does swap-out.
