I'm trying to set up an NSTimer in a class that manages the main NSView object (and its children) in an AudioUnit effect, but my timer is never firing.

I've currently set it up it in a method called from the view factory's uiViewForAudioUnit method, and it appears to create a valid timer. But it never fires. I don't know if that's because uiViewForAudioUnit is running in a different thread, or what. Here's how I set up the timer:

idleTimer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:0.05 target:self selector:@selector(onTimerEvent) userInfo:NULL repeats:YES];

where onTimerEvent is another method of this same class (which is a direct NSObject descendant that creates the root NSView). Here's its signature:
