[PD-dev] scheduling: clocks & audio

[Miller Puckette]

Actually, you can write control functions that take any "reasonable" amount
of time to execute... they just can't exceed the audio FIFO size, and as
noted earlier, can't be called so often that Pd can't catch up between calls.

Something about this (in a more general context) is in my "FTS" article 
on http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/publications.html (number 17).

cheers
Miller
