Fredrik is right. Cocoa calls are synchronous. Since GUI updates are secondary to sound-related activities, they must be on a lower-priority clock, i.e., AppClock.

Well, isnt't it asynchroneous relative to a Sytem Clock? Or is ther another reason why gui calls do not work in a system clock? If i am wrong please let me know. : H. James Harkins
