To be honest, most of that was gibrish to me (NTPL, futex, sysV..).. Most of my experience with system calls is with pipes and files, I know very little about these other things... Either way, you are a bit late, just half an hour ago, I have completed my program, and it works. :) I finished the pthread instead of select() implementation pretty quickly (now I understand why lazy programmers use threads.. heh), what took me so long was troubles with the 2 other programs, had to refine their command line params carefully... (btw, the 2 other programs - MPlayer and MEncoder, and my job was transferring video AND audio between them.)
