I am working on a project that makes very heavy use of
the gtkmeter code
(borrowed from JAMIN), and seem to have a hard to track down problem....
I am using jack so there are a few threads involved and the meters are updated
from a g_timeout_add timer callback, the update_meters function is protected
by gdk_threads_enter/leave. The problem is that in spite of this I still
sometimes get the GUI locking up. There are no locks shared between the GUI
and the DSP code and when this happens the DSP continues to run just fine.
I remember a CVS version of JAMIN used to do something similar?
It still does. The problem is intermittent, thus hard to find.
Does anyone here remember what the cure was, it might
give me some hints....
AFAIK, no one has found the bug. I didn't even consider that it might
be related to the meters until I saw your message.
