    thanks a lot, everything is a bit clearer now.
    It will be great if somebody adds this explanation as a comment to the appropriate places in source code.

    does anybody know what these acronyms represent??

    from my reading of the source code, I deduce that they relate to memory allocation for ring buffer, but I am not sure.
