Plugins can use this interface to safely perform work that is +not real-time safe, and receive the result in the run context. The details of +threading are managed by the host, allowing plugins to be simple and portable +while using resources more efficiently. + +This interface is designed to gracefully support single-threaded synchronous +execution, which allows the same code to work with sample accuracy for offline +rendering. For example, a sampler plugin may schedule a sample to be loaded +from disk in another thread. During live execution, the host will call the +plugin's work method from another thread, and deliver the result to the audio +thread when it is finished. However, during offline export, the +<q>scheduled</q> load would be executed immediately in the same thread. This +enables reproducible offline rendering, where any changes affect the output +immediately regardless of how long the work takes to execute. + +"""^^lv2:Markdown . + +work:interface + lv2:documentation """ + +The work interface provided by a plugin, LV2_Worker_Interface. + + :::turtle + + @prefix work: <http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/worker#> . + + <plugin> + a lv2:Plugin ; + lv2:extensionData work:interface . + +"""^^lv2:Markdown . + +work:schedule + lv2:documentation """ + +The work scheduling feature provided by a host, LV2_Worker_Schedule. + +If the host passes this feature to LV2_Descriptor::instantiate, the plugin MAY +use it to schedule work in the audio thread, and MUST NOT call it in any other +context.
