/* A simple asynchronous message queue, based on pa_asyncq. In
 * contrast to pa_asyncq this one is multiple-writer safe, though
 * still not multiple-reader safe. This queue is intended to be used
 * for controlling real-time threads from normal-priority
 * threads. Multiple-writer-safety is accomplished by using a mutex on
 * the writer side. This queue is thus not useful for communication
 * between several real-time threads.
 *
 * The queue takes messages consisting of:
 *    "Object" for which this messages is intended (may be NULL)
 *    A numeric message code
 *    Arbitrary userdata pointer (may be NULL)
 *    A memchunk (may be NULL)
 *
 * There are two functions for submitting messages: _post and
 * _send. The former just enqueues the message asynchronously, the
 * latter waits for completion, synchronously. */
