[Live-devel] Non blocking read in ByteStreamFileSource

Good.

OK, now you're talking about something else.  Beforehand, you were talking about reading from a pipe - which is done (in your case) using "read()", is called from the event loop (only when data is available to be read), and should not block.

Now, you seem to be talking about *opening* the pipe, which is done using "OpenInputFile()", which is implemented as a call to "fopen()".  I don't know why that would block, however...
