[alsa-devel] alsa-utils aplay/arecord can't be interrupted when streaming is not active

[jiwang]

Hi All

With latest 1.0.27.2 alsa-utils, I am facing problem to interrupt 
aplay/arecord
when the streaming is not active (no data can be written to or read from 
cards)
further more, if I start aplay/arecord with "-N" nonblocking option,
then aplay/arecord can never exit, unless I do a system reset


I found if I revert the following patch

//    aplay/arecord: change the interrupt handling using snd_pcm_abort()//
////
//    It is required (exclude the fatal SIGABRT) to call snd_pcm_close() 
and//
//    the end of work (outside of the interrupt handler). Use new 
snd_pcm_abort()//
//    function to inform alsa-lib to not ignore EINTR and move the 
in_aborting//
//    variable to the global scope to be checked in the i/o loops.//

then aplay/arecord can be interrupted correctly

Is it a defect in aplay.c or did I miss something?

Thanks,
