I'm using the BASS Audio library for streaming music and 3D sound effects among other things, and I've noticed that I can let it update itself in a thread or I can update in my main loop. In the past, I had problems on some machines ( none of mine, sadly ) when I let IrrKlang do this, but I'm not sure if that's a BlitzMax issue or an IrrKlang issue. Just wondering if it's safe to let Bass run a thread to update the sound, or whether I'll have to do it manually. Obviously there are no GC issues as nothing is destroyed.
