The question is does this API really work in OSX?
Much like James, I am under the impression that there is no way to wire
memory from user-land. I don't think that mlock() and friends have any
actual implementation on X.
I have a question in to the guys on the OS team that can settle the issue
one way or the other. I'll post the answer as soon as I get one.
FWIW, the buffers that you get from the HAL in your IOProc are, in fact,
wired down. The HAL and the IOAudio Family have a protocol between them for
doing this that isn't really a good basis for a public API.
