[CLAM] Help with AudioCircularBuffer

Hi again,

If you are using it to connect to the "outside world" then it is a good
choice. We use similar workarounds when developing VST plugins with CLAM.
In this case the Port mechanism would not help.

Yep, you can rewind the read index using the appropiate method. You will
not be violating any rule as long as the write index does not surpase the
read index, as I said. Than means that you should take into account this
overlap factor when choosing the size of your buffer.
