Recommend way for an Audio Unit to implement a background timer

  • Thread-topic: Recommend way for an Audio Unit to implement a background timer

I am working on an (carbon) audio unit port of a VST plugin that has a
requirement to perform certain short background tasks regardless of
whether or not the GUI is open, or if the host is not polling the AU's
render method regularly.

What's the recommended carbon API for such a timer? the timer class I'm
using is based on VSTGUI3.5's cvstguitimer class, and I am having *no*
luck with CFRunLoopAddTimer, I simply cannot get it to work without
causing the strangest crashes (in seemingly unrelated code) in Logic 8
and AUlab.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
Dave
