One could also use a monitor, the implementation of which is also covered in the same 3rd year University course.
If anyone in high school tells you to use forks in Turing (without explaining all of the associated problems they will introduce), they don't really know what they are talking about.

No, I'm not sure that Turing uses a separate thread to play Music. It was just one of the most obvious reasons for Turing's process to be using 3-4 threads rather than 1.
@Tony: Huh, I didn't realize Turing had any concurrent/parallel constructs. Apparently they've got several, but it looks like most are only usable within a monitor. Still, not worth it.
