My point is that there doesn't need to be an extra layer of protection 
other than the one already provided. It's even set in the vout thread 
loop, rather than in other threads like the controls (window thread and 
GUI thread for callback variables). In the end we may even handle it in 
the vout loop without waiting for a control to appear.
