1442535 - PulseAudio streams arent freed properly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Michail V.]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180208175058

Steps to reproduce:

In modern Linux systems the audio badges supported by Firefox internally in order to indicate that in a tab there is sound playing are also supported and at the DE's taskmanager, such cases are Plasma Taskmanager and Latte Dock in Linux.

The aboce Tasksmanagers in order to indicate if audio is playing they track down the PulseAudio streams. When the pulseaudio streams are deleted then the relevant audio badges are removed.

The inconsistency here is that even though the internal audio badge indicator of Firefox is removed correctly when no audio is playing the taskmanager one it doesnt because the pulseaudio stream is still present.


What I propose is the pulseaudio streams to be removed when no audio is playing at all in firefox. This is what all music/video players are doing under linux


Actual results:

Audio badge indicator from taskmanager isnt removed


Expected results:

Audio badge indicator of the taskmanager should have been removed just like the Firefox internal one.

sorry for this...
pulseaudio provides a way to track the audio presence...
so this isnt valid...
