End of Stream Signal

[anthumchris]

Would it be helpful for RingBuffer to store an internal "end of stream" signal received by the producer to notify the consumer? Or should that be managed externally? For example, a cross-realm scenario could avoid async messaging by setting/getting the end flags:

// main.js
[ numWritten, didAllWrite ] = ringBuffer.write(elements, isEnd)

// worker.js
[ numRead, isEnd ] = ringBuffer.read(elements)

This is high level for this ring buffer. You want to either have a packet system where you can have arbitrary messages (like the parameter change examples), or have sentinel values in the audio stream that signal EOS.
