Description Andy Wingo 2006-01-24 10:55:47 UTC 
Multifdsink runs in two threads, and an application using it will run in another. The API of multifdsink has provisions for the user to emit signals on the object, and for multifdsink to emit signals on itself. The threading interaction of these is complicated. This is a note for some belgian with two last names to take a look into documenting this properly, preferably with tests.

Wingo, is this bug still valid ? Does the two-last-names belgian care about this or can provide that info ?
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2009-09-10 07:06:09 UTC 
Closing this now, this is not really different from other elements that provide signals or action-signals: They will be emitted from a random thread and the application needs to be aware of that.
