Miles Sound System SDK 7.2a

Sharing the CPU under Win64

Discussion

Under Win64, Miles does most of its work in a background thread. This means that Miles usually does its work without you even having to worry about it. The mixing and buffer submission to the sound hardware all happens without your intervention.

The only time you may need to specifically give Miles CPU time is if the system thread scheduler starts performing badly and the background Miles thread starves.

Miles provides several techniques to handle thread-starvation. See the AIL_get_timer_highest_delay function as well as the "My sound is skipping on Windows or MacOS X - what can I do?" FAQ for more details.
