Agreed :) I've just pushed 2 documentation patches, one rewriting the "Event handling" section to not be full of misinformation, and a 2nd one adding a "Using an event handling thread" section. See: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/libusb-reference/group__asyncio.html#asyncevent For the result. I'll do a 1.0.16rc3 release this evening.
