Question about example-audio_stream.rb

[weber]

I am running the example file "example-audio_stream.rb" and when the track ends I get the error "release for Plaything::OpenAL::Device failed: close_device failed with invalid_name".

Does this have something to do with the comment in the code that says:

#

# Global callback procs.

#

# They are global variables to protect from ever being garbage collected.

#

# You must not allow the callbacks to ever be garbage collected, or libspotify

# will hold information about callbacks that no longer exist, and crash upon

# calling the first missing callback. This is *very* important!

I assume this issue is related but I don't know how to fix it, any help?

I've only ever seen this error upon termination of the entire application. I believe it is because OpenAL somehow tracks the application terminating, and closing the device on it's own, causing a double-close when ruby tries to close it.

Do you see this error when a track stops playing, and not only when the entire program closes?

At first I was just running the example from the command line but I added it to a rails application which remains running even after the track ends. That seems to fix the problem. 

Thanks.
