Multithreading in Plugins

[Tom.Albrecht]

I need to start a new Thread in my Visualization plugin. What kind of threads does WinAmp use? MFC threads or just the Win32 API.
The plugin is a port from Linux and Xmms and uses QT. QT must run in a seperate thread. Under Linux, I had to use POSIX threads because that's what Xmms uses.
So now I face the same problem under Windows. It would probably be useful to know what threads WinAmp uses because that would probably facilitate compability.

Hope you can help me.

I had a similar problem with my plugin. I found that I could use any type of thread I wanted to do most things. I used the basic C process thread _beginthread and also have used mfc's AfxBeginThread.
Either way I found that the thread worked correctly except in refreshing my opengl window. Anyways, it atleast worked for solving equations...
