Description

After playing a sound, Scratch doesn't close the audio device and even ​keeps streaming audio data to the device. Apart from wasting energy, it also prevents other Activities from using the audio device, at least on some hardware (including XO-1.75).

  • Summary changed from doesn't close audio device after usage to Scratch doesn't close audio device after usage

this command can help observe that the activity is doing the right thing:

    while sleep 0.1
    do  
        egrep 'closed|state' /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status
    done

the output should be "RUNNING" while noise is being made, and "closed"
when not.
