Non-blocking StdinWrite replacement?

[KaFu]

Hiho Team,

in one of my projects I use StdinWrite to communicate with an external program (AMT > mplayer.exe). From time to time the script hangs itself, and I narrowed it down to StdinWrite(). The mplayer.exe buffer seems to be full. Soooo.... does anyone know of a possibility to replace StdinWrite() maybe with a custom api function in which a timeout can be set?

Regards

Fought my way forward and found Screen_Scrape.au3 by Valik using ReadConsoleOutputW. So I assumed there had to be a WriteConsoleOutput function, and it is. Is this the function used by StdinWrite() in the background? And if so, is there any inherent reason why StdinWrite() is blocking? Just asking before I start tinkering around ...
