Can I use async API from the command line? #75

Hi,

Thanks for the tool, really useful to control my new Onkyo receiver from Linux. I use it from the command line onkyo script and was wondering if I can send commands in a non-blocking way from it. I don't need to get the output back.

What I am trying to achieve is for my HTPC, when I click audio-volume-up on my remote, it runs the script onkyo -t MYDEVICE master-volume=level-up and similarly for level-down. It takes about 250ms to run. The problem is that when I press the key for a long time and it gets into repeat mode, it doesn't keep up and produces strange results (device volume continues to climb long after I release). I believe that if I just send the command without waiting for a response, I could be ok.

I read about the async-API and was wondering if it can be invoked from the command line somehow. Is this possible?

Thanks!

It's not supported at this time, but it's a good idea. Something like a --no-wait switch, sure.

Thanks. Will follow if it gets added some time
