All operations with synth buffer should be protected,
as there are global pointers, which should be modified atomically.

Linux, c'est simple : ça s'adresse à une machine qui est parfois un peu
maraboutée mais qui d'habitude n'a pas d'états d'âme. Sur Usenet y'a
plein d'humains et de primates, et ça devient vraiment gore par moment.
