can anyone confirm that using outlet_anything() inside a thread is safe? just wrote a little object that reads a usb device in a thread, and send to the outlets from there directly via outlet_anything() .... so far it doesnt crash or anything, it just works (of course there are some objects connected to them), altough its only a few route's and slider/bangs/toggles connected.
solution 1: use the sys_lock() ... (not to mention "locking is bad") solution 2: use devel and the lockfree idle callback
solution 3: use flext, since it's taking care of that ...
of course it might work in every test you run, but it will certainly crash, when you're playing a concert :)
