John,
Did you have a chance to check the darwin header files?
<mach/thread_policy.h> and other includes describe in a decent way the
kernel calls related to mach threads policies and other kernel stuff.
There are even comments in these files! And these are not specific to
audio, being kernel syscalls anyway. Definitely better than the random
emails you mentioned.
The darwin mailing list and its archive give also great support to
kernel related issues for these times when things get murky. Some Apple
kernel/iokit folks are there and usually reply to queries in a very
timely manner.
Of course, I agree: the next great thing we need is an O'Reilly book
about CoreAudio. That would definitely be an instant best seller ;-)
Later,
LdS
