Everybody, please take Ian's warnings to heart. Making youself equal
to the Window Server's event handling is a Bad Thing(tm). If you
coming to WWDC, definitely check out the CoreAudio talks as I imagine
this topic will be covered. There is also a specific session on
multithreading.
Please bear in mind that Professional Audio is a "one strike you are
out" business. When I'm recording a concert, I can't run up to the
stage and ask the band to stop and play the song over again. That
means that missing recording a take because the OS decided to pretty up
the screen is NOT an appropriate tradeoff. That also means that I
can't just experiment a bit and pronounce that maybe it will work, I
have to have some way to prove with a fairly large amount of certainty
that nothing is going to suddenly wake up and ruin my recording.
I couldn't agree more and the WindowServer has definitely been
uncooperative in the past in this regard. I just meant to say (and more
will be said at WWDC and hopefully summarized to this list) that the
behavior is changing for Jaguar and should make this much easier to deal
with and be more deterministic. Hopefully, these changes will be fully
explained and Bill and co. will then be able to supply all of us with a
recommended approach that everyone (including the system) will be happy
with.
