/* To get a good thread priority, call suggest_thread_priority() with the following information: */
/* 'what' is a bit mask describing what you're doing in the thread. */
/* 'period' is how many times a second your thread needs to run (-1 if you're running continuously.) */
/* 'jitter' is an estimate (in us) of how much that period can vary, as long as it stays centered on the average. */
/* 'length' is how long (in us) you expect to run for each invocation. */
/* "invocation" means, typically, receiving a message, dispatching it, and then returning to reading a message. */
/* MANIPULATION means both filtering and compression/decompression. */
/* PLAYBACK and RECORDING means threads feeding/reading ACTUAL HARDWARE ONLY. */
