Look at the GEM OSX code for mouse and keyboard events hacking.  Getting the required data doesn't always require the by the book event loops.

So does this scheduler then completely override the built-in one?  I
am trying to find a way to deal with Apple Carbon CFRunLoops, which
are needed by the IOBluetooth API in order to get the data from the
devices at regular intervals.

Carbon apps all have one built-in, it is the main event loop, but
since 'pd' is separate from its GUI, the CFRunLoop is in the pd-gui
Tcl/Tk process, and therefore the wiiremote object can't hook into it.
