QProcess and QLocalSocket are the same issue: pipes on Windows. And the nature 
of QWindowsPipeWriter is that it is a thread. So your argument breaks down 
here.

The implementation of both on Unix is clear of sleeps.

QAudioInputPrivate is the case which I referred to: hardware polling. But it 
shouldn't be in the main thread. Then again, no one said ALSA had a good 
API...

What's more, there are uses of sleep out there in the code that exist because 
the developer didn't know better. It doesn't mean it's proper solution. I'm 
pretty sure that non-blocking pipe writing on Windows can be improved to not 
use sleeps.
