#29 About streaming and STOP button

[Francesco Muzio]

dear developer, many thanks for your open source software. It's almost perfect, but I have some question about an only feature requested:

This app lack of a STOP button. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

How can I stop the streaming ? The only way seems to be by disabling all the connection from the phone options.

It's not clear where is stored the streaming when the player is paused: RAM or disk?

Pause button doesn't interrupt the streaming.
When I press a pause button the music is stopped but the app continue to download the stream. This behaviour is desirable if I want to resume the listening but is frustrating for a paranoid like me :-)

For example, a STOP button is useful in this context:
When the streaming is used as radio alarm clock the "Dismiss" button must stop the streaming (instead of pause it).

I see that is implemented a mechanism to stop the streaming after a (undefined) period of inactivity but, also here, is not clear the period and the condition.

Inactivity mean standby (and app in pause state) or app in the background (and in pause state)?

conclusion:
A stop function is desiderable for a clear and doubtless interruption of the streaming (during normal use) and is required for the DISMISS button of the alarm (a user expects that streaming stops immediately).

You can stop the stream from the ... menu in the title bar.
Although I agree, stop should precede pause in streaming contexts.
I once placed the stream on pause and forgot about it to find my phone drained of battery a while later.

Yes, please add more and easier ways to stop the stream. Auto-stop (instead of pause) on Bluetooth disconnect per device would be great.
