2) Use asynDriver:

 - From what I understood, it is possible to stop a callback and send it back to the queue using the 'callbackRequestDelayed()' EPICS function. This, with the help of a state machine, would allow the callback to be executed in two steps, and not block callbacks from other users. It seems to be similar to the approach taken on the asynDriver '<top>/testApp'.

 - In this case, a separate thread would receive all the results, and store them in a place where the callbacks would read later.

 - However, I don't know if it is fully compatible with asynDriver, or if asynDriver provides a better mechanism for this type of interaction. Is there a better approach?
