Description
This change fixes a use-after-free crash in the ALSA input plugin that occurs when creating a new scene collection without the previously configured USB microphone plugged in. A shutdown flag is introduced to safely coordinate the termination of background threads and prevent access to freed resources.
Motivation and Context
Previously,
_alsa_reopen()
could run concurrently afteralsa_destroy()
freed the device string or other resources, causing a heap-use-after-free crash. This fix ensures that background threads properly exit when the source is destroyed, eliminating the race condition.#9322
