I am not completely sure I understand you, but maybe it's this:
- your dsp doesn't offer a file descriptor you could check for activity
(if it's a character device for example, it might have one)
- you want to do something when the dsp is ready
The solution would indeed involve a second thread which does whatever it nees
to do to talk with the dsp. You would start an async watcher in your main
thread, and when the second thread detects some activity, it ev_async_send's
to the async watcher.
This will wake up the event loop and cause your async watcher callback to
be invoked.
