Re: [fluid-dev] parallel loading of soundfont samples

[Ceresa Jean-Jacques]

>Currently, there are two problems: 1. The samplecache is guarded by a mutex that prevents naïve parallelization. 2. If we relax that mutex we get a strange race condition,...

The whole fluid_samplecache_load() need to be atomic and isn't thread safe without the mutex

-get_samplecache_entry(), need the mutex

-fluid_list_prepend(), need the mutex

-entry->num_references++; need the mutex
