I've started writing a software synthesizer in C++ (using SDL2 for

event loop thread that listens for keyboard events communicate with
the audio callback.
Are there any recommendations for how to pass real-time events (note
on, note off, etc) to such an audio callback? I figured, this is
already a solved problem and that I could benefit from your
experiences. Maybe you know of some nice open-source C++ queue
implementation that is suitable in such a situation.
I have used jackd ringbuffer for that.
If you don't want to link against jack you could probably pull the code
out to use in your application. the ring buffer is a polled setup, so
every time you do some audio processing you need to check the ring buffer
to see if there are any new bytes to process.
