In short: on unix, you're better off with select() and friends.
(which is basically what the main loop hooks in lazarus do)
I have no knowledge of an actual signaling mechanism for data.
epoll, select, poll all use a wait loop.

aio_read ?
This is not a signalling mechanism in the sense that you get a message if data
is available for reading.
It's an asynchronous read. You must call aoi_error() at intervals to see if the
data has been read.
