[Live-devel] Stop specific streams.

[Ross Finlayson]

> The part that I don't understand that if I only have one doEventLoop for any number of streams, how can I stop that event loop without stopping all of the streams?  Surely if I stop my one and only eventLoop, then none of the streams will work.

Yes, but the way that programmers typically use "doEventLoop()" with a 'watch variable' is inside a loop - e.g.
	while (1) {
		env.taskScheduler().doEventLoop(&watchVariable);
		// handle the setting of the 'watch variable', then reenter the event loop
	}

This is why it's better to use the new "event trigger" mechanism.  That way, you can call "doEventlLoop()" just once, and never leave it.  (In this case, the 'trigger handler' routines are all called from within the event loop.)
