Polling is bad... when you cannot predict when the event occurs.

Performance position is likely enough to advance visibly every second 
that it may be reasonable to poll once or twice per sec, rather than 
use an event. Note that the input/demux stuff will cause a lot more 
wakeups than 1 or 2/sec while performing in any case, so the battery 
drain is not very significant.
