I did a more thorough inspection of my code, and discovered that I
actually wrote past the buffer size before I started reading any data,
i.e. causing the read index to surpass the write index. Problem solved by
increasing the buffer size slightly.

Winamp feeds my music analysis plugin with frame audio data through a
callback function. I use the circular buffer to aggregate enought data to
do a FFT of a reasonably sized frame. How do you suggest I use In and
Outport in this case?

And while I have you on the line; For the FFTs I want to have a 50% frame
overlap. Is it possible to rewind the read index of the circular buffer by
half a frame size? Without violating any assertions?

Regards,
Vegard
