[PD] please test: threaded soundfiler & garray locks

hi carmen,

first of all, thanks for your response!

> d_soundfile.c: In function `open_soundfile':

> d_soundfile.c:206: warning: unused variable `format'
this is the original code...

> d_soundfile.c: In function `soundfiler_thread':
> d_soundfile.c:1002: too many arguments to function
> `sched_setscheduler'
hm ... it seems that the windows pthread packages uses another
definition of sched_setscheduler than linux ... i'll look into it
tomorrow... i'm curious how this is handled on osx...

my output is:

i suppose you miss the -Wno-unused

i'm using one helper thread that's working on a queue of processes.
these processes will be run sequencial. the queue is not only able to
perform soundfiler operations but all operations that match the api can
be scheduled there. 
for the soundfiler routines (read, write, resize) a new buffer will be
allocated, prepared and after locking the system with sys_lock() the
pointers will be set to the new array.

cheers...

mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,
burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across
the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and
everybody goes "Awww!"
