Yes, of course you can.  But if you're already running within the 
event loop, then you don't need to use the event trigger mechanism 
(because, if you're running within the event loop, you're already 
executing code in response to an event).  Instead, you can just call 
"myProc()" directly.

It depends: When specifically do you want to call "myProc()"?  If you 
want to do it after a certain time has elapsed (or periodically), 
then you can do this using "TaskScheduler::scheduleDelayedTask()".

If, however, you want to do this in response to something that's 
happening in a separate thread (i.e., one that's *not* running the 
LIVE555 event loop), then the event trigger mechanism would be 
perfect for this.
