Maybe I still miss something but doesn't the protocol I sent in the
other mail show that there is no blocking? The whole idea of using two
ports is that you can still send RPC during the read. See "do_scan"
function in saned.c. I haven't checked the details, maybe there is a
timing issue that involves blocking in your case?

In this case the test with "scanimage -d net:localhost:test -t"
shouldn't work as scanimage does sane_get_parameters before sane_read.
