Unless you want to reinvent the wheel and do the buffering yourself (it is possible though, I've done it on IRIX). BTW, why are you so keen on smooth-at-the-microlevel writeout? With real time video applications it's only important not to drop frames. How fast those frames will go to the disk isn't really an issue, as long as you don't overflow the intermediate buffer.
