There's no principle advantage, other than to get a lock-free fifo for
all platforms. The old implementation was buggy.
Talking to Yann Orlarey he stated that Grame is working on a separate
fifo implementation as well.
Please note also that it's is a linked list fifo, so no reallocation
needed... on the other hand the "cell" elements have to be dynamically
allocated before insertion.
best greetings,
