Oh ! :-(  I think that's going to mean a major rewrite of my code
because it is currently uses the glib event loop and adds an event
source that checks the alsa device and then creates the required number
of samples.

I've not written any threaded code before so that's another learning
curve !

So my next question is ....  Can you point me to a gtk app example
(preferably in C rather than C++) that woks in this threaded way ?

Thanks,
