The problem that I see with that is that the plugin needs to be rendering
in order to get any events. What if rendering is currently stopped, but
the user for example triggers a change-preset event? Then the event
doesn't really get passed (and therefore listeners like GUI elements don't
get updated) until rendering begins again. This can cause unwanted
unresponsiveness for some types of events. At least that's how it seems
to me, but I might be missing something with this approach...
