I was traveling along this post, but now have another question:

While my thread is waiting in the futures:

T get() const
   {
     boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(mutex_);
     while (!value_.get() && !exception_.get())
       condition_.wait(lock);
     if (exception_.get())
       exception_->raise();
     return *value_;
   }

it will not react to a    io_service_.stop(); request.

While I do understand why this is so, I wonder if there is a way to let 
the future also check for the demuxers stop flag and exit the wait by 
possibly throwing an error?
