[Interest] is it ok to push audio on a background thread, not a timer?

then i'm not understanding what your objection is.

i thought your objection was that objects derived from QObject, if they are used on a back thread then they must be either allocated there or "moved" there.

but since this i_auP is NOT a QObject, it's my own class, that i'm fine to allocate it in one thread (main) and then use it on another thread (audio pump thread) (provided and assuming i am careful to mutex any access from the main thread)

> Are you saying that this calls a function that returned null?
sorry, what is "this" and what function are you referring to that returns null?

if you mean GetCUnit_Out() it returns an object of my own (not a QObject) that has already been allocated and is guaranteed to not be NULL

> I repeat my request for a compileable example.
i hear you loud and clear but let's assume that's not happening for now and see how far we get
