Hi, I'm currently working asynchronous-encoding for the VNC server and using that kind of approach (a queue of jobs, with a worker thread). I'll post a RFC patch soon, but I would be happy to move to a generic solution instead of managing my own queue of job. I noticed that you were using directly pthread_* functions. Maybe you should use (and extend) qemu-thread.h to provide some kind of thread abstraction (even if currently qemu-thread is a direct wrapper to pthread).
