What reaches this one is a plain reading on the `joy` input, and this module is the seam the loop reads it through: :class:`Sample` is what the rest of the node sees, exactly as it did when the pad was read in-process. **The safety-critical part is :meth:`JoyInput.read`.** Moving the pad into another process added a way for it to go away that did not exist before — that process dying — and from here that looks like silence rather than like an unplugged pad.
