Walkthrough

Playback now stores and reuses a Player instance while initialized. Player tracks its playback-status and playback-position streams, removes them during deinitialization, and ignores responses that arrive after deinitialization. Tests cover player reuse, stream registration and cleanup, reinitialization, and late responses.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 797ad

The change makes Playback reuse one Player per context and cleans up its main-side streams on deinit. Engine-side streams still accumulate across context reopenings, as they did before this change. This is a bounded issue that can be handled as a follow-up and should not block the merge.

Defer player initialization until the context is ready.

If a caller invokes player() before Playback::init() completes, Player::init() sends requests before the context handlers exist. GeneralRpcChannel drops requests without handlers. The cached player then never subscribes to status or position updates.

Initialize or retry the player after successful context initialization.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Stop deinitialized players from controlling a reopened context.

A caller can retain the IPlayerPtr after Playback::deinit() and reopen the same context. Resetting m_alive blocks response callbacks, but Player::play() and other commands still send requests using that context ID. The old player can then control the new context alongside its new player. Invalidate command operations on the old player, or enforce a context-generation check before sending them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Remove engine-side playback streams during context teardown.

GetPlaybackStatus and GetPlaybackPosition register streams in the engine-side map. Player::deinit() runs on the main thread, so GeneralRpcChannel::removeStream() removes only the main-side receive streams. ContextDeinit destroys the audio context but does not remove the engine-side streams. Reopening a context can therefore retain two old streams and register two new streams.

Track the returned stream IDs per context and remove them through the engine-side channel during ContextDeinit. This leak predates the cache change; the PR reduces repeated player() registrations but does not worsen this teardown leak.
