If you're writing a node, and receive a buffer with the B_SMALL_BUFFER
flag set, you must recycle the buffer in your
BufferReceived()
function.
The Be Book - System Overview - The Media Kit
The BSmallBuffer
class provides small, efficient buffers for MIDI and
other small packet-based media types.
To use BSmallBuffers,
create a BSmallBuffer,
then fill it with up to
SmallBufferSizeLimit()
bytes of data. Then call
SendBuffer().
You can then immediately reuse the buffer.
How is this possible? BSmallBuffers
don't go in buffer groups. The
receiver immediately either processes the buffer (if it's time) or caches
it until it's needed, then recycles the buffer.
If you're writing a node, and receive a buffer with the B_SMALL_BUFFER
flag set, you must recycle the buffer in your
BufferReceived()
function.
