Re: Calling rtlsdr_* while receiving in async mode

What's the "right way" to call rtlsdr_* functions while receiving samples via rtlsdr_read_async()? e.g. to change frequency or gain mid-run.

Some work in this area: https://github.com/mutability/librtlsdr/tree/async-rearrangements - Rearranging rtlsdr_read_async() so that rtlsdr callbacks are not done from within the libusb callback. This allows you to safely call rtlsdr_* from within the async callback. https://github.com/mutability/librtlsdr/tree/thread-safety - makes device access threadsafe (in theory), so you can safely call rtlsdr_* from multiple threads (including while rtlsdr_read_async is running) Oliver
