[Live-devel] Is it valid to call startPlaying on a MediaSink AFTER TaskScheduler->doEventLoop()?

[Ross Finlayson]

Yes, you can call any of these functions while you’re in the event loop.  In fact, there’s no reason in principle why your “main()” function can’t just be nothing but a call to “doEventLoop()” - so that everything gets called from event handlers.  (In practice, however, “main()” needs to do some initial setup to ensure that events start happening - before the call to “doEventLoop()”.)

But once you’re in the event loop (and thus are handling events), you can call whatever functions you like.
