+ * A set of library functions to make lock-free ringbuffers available
+ * to JACK clients.  The `capture_client.c' (in the example_clients
+ * directory) is a fully functioning user of this API.
+ *
+ * The key attribute of a ringbuffer is that it can be safely accessed
+ * by two threads simultaneously -- one reading from the buffer and
+ * the other writing to it -- without using any synchronization or
+ * mutual exclusion primitives.  For this to work correctly, there can
+ * only be a single reader and a single writer thread.  Their
+ * identities cannot be interchanged.
