GP2X 3 Processes?

[shoggoth]

This might have been answered before but I can't find anything here or on the wiki:
Why do I see three processes for my game in ps? I don't do any fork()s.
I'm using Paeryn's SDL, is that making more processes?
Cheers!

I have not looked at this on the machine but older non-kernel thread versions of linux just create another process for each active thread. This is the way it is/was prior to kernel threads.

Indeed.
IIRC, if you use sound with SDL, it create a thread to handle it.
So you have your main thread, the sound thread, and a last one that manage them.

Ah thanks, that explains it. I was afraid I was doing something wrong.
