[alsa-devel] [PATCH] alsa-utils: speaker-test: fix infinite loop
I'm using speaker-test in an Ubuntu-specific bug triaging script/application ("ubuntu-bug audio"), and without showing the terminal that speaker-test outputs. So when the stream cannot be opened for one reason or another, my application hangs indefinitely and the user cannot report the bug.
Looking at the code, seems like Takashi removed all error loops except this one four years ago, so there shouldn't be any controversy in removing this one as well.

Looks good to me. Applied now. Thanks!
