Register a callback for new data available on a socket

[dhruvbird]

Hello!

So, I'm trying to create a plugin that listens for data on a tcp socket and once it has some data, displays that on the OSD. However, I need to wait for data on the socket using the poll() method, and because of that, VLC thinks that the plugin has crashed. Please can you suggest a better way to do this?
