    Hello!

On Sun, Nov 27, 2011, around 18:41, I've received:

    Ah, I see the point. But that condwait used in cache filler, isn't
it? So I think that main thread which using the cache can always signal
the filler to wake up if it have used up the cache and that may happen
even in case if time flow is ideal - if that is peak of stream usage. Am
I right?

    With best wishes.
