the fork should definitely help, are you sure you are doing that
correctly? Aren't you waiting for child or something like that? should be
something like this:
pid = fork();
if(pid==0) { /* this is kid */
doAudioStuff();
exit(0);
}
/* parent */
...
possibly check the status of kid...
the other option is to use threads (on linux there's not much difference
(performance wise) between thread and forking another process)
