[Live-devel] Adding multiple sources

[Stas Desyatnlkov]

The solution you proposed will work. However, I feel that what I did is
more robust and consumes less CPU as there is no polling involved.
I attach my code so anyone interested can use it.

What I did is a message source that needs to be instantiated like this:

	//Msg source
	in_addr msgAddr;
	msgAddr.s_addr = our_inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
	const Port msgPort(9999);
	Groupsock* msgSock = new Groupsock(*m_pEnv, msgAddr, msgPort,
1);
	MsgSource* pMsgSrc = new MsgSource(*m_pEnv, msgSock);
	char msgBuf[128];
	pMsgSrc->RegisterSource(MsgFunc, this, msgBuf, sizeof(msgBuf));

	void MsgFunc(void* user, void* data, int size, sockaddr_in&
fromAdr)
	{
		RTPReceiver* pCls = (RTPReceiver*)user;
		pCls->m_watch = True;
	}

Now any other thread can simply use UDP socket to send a message. The
message will unlock the select call of the doEventLoop and MsgFunc
callback is invoked.

Hope this helps,
Stas.

Someone else encountered this same situation last week.  Here was my 
suggested solution:
