Then, better to do this work from the application thread. Or rather,
anything other than the streaming thread. Or is this already the case?

Racy! EOS will probably cause the pad's task to stop. Anyways, rethink:
do your work from the main thread, if possible.

Perhaps I misunderstand and you are already doing things correctly, and
there is a bug somewhere. Post a minimal, minimal test case (really
minimal) and we will see what we can do.

Andy.
