Could you or Werner Fink explain what excatly those changes are supposed to 
fix?
I was going over that code before and IMHO is there no race, with a slight 
change could the code even work completly without locking. There exists only 
a race between clear and get/put, but that is taken care of by cPlayBuffer.
