using pthread to receive data on a socket and simultaneously play it using /dev/dsp

Hi, I am writing a client for a real time audio streaming server. I am
using pthread for that. I have one thread receiving data on a socket from
the server. After buffering some data, other thread wakes up (checking how
much data is in the buffer) to play the music. The problem is that when the
2nd thread is playing, the first thread is not able to receive data from
the server. If the server sends the data slow, then there will be breaks
in the audio. How do I solve this problem?

Thanks.

Below you'll find the code i'm working on. It's in a button click routine and hangs after 3 or 4 sometimes 5 loops done, probably in sock.receive(....). Some code was found here( on google i mean) but the amazing( at least for me) is that if i run the program step by step or i cancel the loop and run it by pressing the button again and again it never hangs . I want to have an infinite loop so my socket keeps on listening until i...

I have 2 projects - 1 Winform project that sends Udp messages using the UdpClient class when a button is clicked, and a Console application that listens for these Udp messages. If I try to use the UdpClient class to receive, it never works. The messages are never received (no exceptions). If I use a normal socket configured to listen for Udp messages, it works perfectly. Below is my sample code. It is only test code - I know the...

I am building a data backup application in C# using Sockets. It has a server component and a client component. The client is going to upload files to the server through TCP sockets. I've got all figured out and have been able to transfer files between client and server. Now I have some doubts about which is the best method to transfer a file? Option 1 - I use the built in Socket.BeginSendFile (I am using async calls) to transfer a file. Option 2...

Hi, My understanding is that for the same socket, assuming send and receive run at two different threads, I have to use BeginReceive to avoid the blocking on send part. However, I can jsut use Send without worrying about any threading issue in case send and beginreceive happens at the same time on the socket? Am I correct on this? Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
