The threaded versions of my ogg vorbis streaming externals are largely based on
the readsf~/writesf~ code. It took me some time to fix all the bugs in my code
but after that the externals now work more reliable than the unthreaded ones.

There's also a (partly) threaded netsend available at
http://www.akustische-kunst.de/puredata/winport.html for those who haven't
noticed it. Maxlib's netdist uses multithreading as well...
