Description Guillaume Castagnino 2025-02-02 06:03:36 UTC

It would be nice to have a “Stop” control. Currently, music cannot be stopped, only paused. When paused, stream stays open forever. See for example pw-top if using pipewire. There should be a way to effectively shutdown the stream.

The (big) downside of this, is that it will prevent pipewire to change the configuration of the sink. For example, if elisa was playing a content at 44.1kHz, your sink is stuck at 44.1kHz even if you want to play something in audioHD (streaming platform or whatever), it cannot be reconfigured for any other rate.

There is a workaround: after pausing the music, slide the time slider to the beginning or the end of the current song, and stream will shutdown, but it’s not really handy…
