Question on calls into the Event() part of the plugin.

[A Marchini]

I am curious if the Event call is blocking call from vixen. I am assuming it is.
The issue is that people are having problems running multiple streams of serial data. I wonder if it has to do with halting calls into each plugin.
Actually, if that was the case nothing should be lost , I suppose more likely is the USB driver subsystem is having trouble spooling data to multiple sources in parallel or maybe just driver latency in general.

hmm... have to think about this more, and how to actually fix it. There must be some kind of bottle neck.

Any other ideas?

Well, I did have a serial connection yesterday which hung if the DTR signal wasn't sent to it, and it stopped all other plugins from getting their Event() calls, but not the audio. (Fmod runs on a seperate thread, I believe.)

I'm surprised that different serial ports would interfere with each other.
I did run 2 USB -> Serial adaptors from a single program (hand coded by me) last year, and didn't find any problem with them.
