Threads for ongoing processes

I'm working on an application that processes audio and plays
it back using common MME functions. The process looks like this:

1. send buffer to playback output
2. prepare new buffer with sound data
3. callback: "playback is done" > go to step 1.

I wish to do this using a separate thread, because the user
is messing around in lots of graphical GUI things in the main
thread. I can't really figure out how to assign this
callback/process to a thread though. I know how to create
a thread for a one-time job, but not how to do it for an
ongoing process (using a callback mechanism)...

can one of the Delphi gurus around here shed some light?

Thanks!

Bram
