Hello again
This is still about the alsamixer-qt4 application I working on.
This time I wonder if a snd_mixer_t handle created with snd_mixer_open ( ... ) can be used in two threads concurrently.
One thread should be the main Qt4 GUI thread and the second thread should only poll ( ... ) blocking for ALSA events on the shared snd_mixer_t handle in accompany with
snd_mixer_poll_descriptors_count ( ... ) snd_mixer_poll_descriptors ( ... ) snd_mixer_poll_descriptors_revents ( ... )
The second thread then will post Qt4 signals to the main thread on occassion.
Does this sound feasible?
This approach seems neccessary as I want to avoid timed polls and any integration of linux poll() in the Qt4 mail loop seems to boil down to timed polls.
