  If you have suggestions on extensions that could help integrate
the reader in such scenarii I'm definitely listening ! The reader 
inside uses a push model, the question is how do you give back
control to the data gathering part. I think a callback on data
acquisition is less intrusive code wise, than putting the callbacks
on the data processing side. But doing the assembly proper and 
devising a generic enough API is not trivial.
