"Run In Background" while capturing joystick input events

Question

Is it possible to capture input (like joystick movement) while the unity player does not have focus? (on windows)

I have "Run in Background" as well as "Capture Single Screen" checked.

Currently the joystick events are being ignored once the unity3d application looses focus--even if it is still visible and still rendering.

I got this working by creating a service that runs in the background and forwards the joystick events to unity3D over a local network connection.
