I've been taking a look at mythmusic on Fedora.
Using the UI functions like pause() in PlaybackBox::pause() hangs the
frontend for extended periods trying to acquire the output mutex lock.
MMAudioOutput::run() keeps the mutex locked for all but very brief
periods seemingly making it difficult for the other thread to acquire.
I looked at the mythtv audio output but its using the posix api instead
of the QT one and the code is structured quite different.
Anyone more familiar with threads have a suggestion on how to change the
code here and make it more friendly to NPTL?
Brent.
