This can be useful in other places, e.g. it can replace objpool in fftools. The API is modified in the following nontrivial ways: * opaque pointers can be passed through to all user callbacks * read and write were previously separate callbacks in order to accomodate the caller wishing to write a new reference to the FIFO and keep the original one; the two callbacks are now merged into one, and a flags argument is added that allows to request such behaviour on a per-call basis * new peek and drain functions
