After several hours of playing sounds my iOS app crashes and the QT Creator displays the following stack trace:

QT Creator screenshot:
unfortunately, QT Creator does not display the values of the variables.
My application output:
Starting a sound. . Main thread: true
Starting a sound. . Main thread: true

it means that QAudioSink::stateChanged callback was called 2 times with QAudio::IdleState:
void QtSoundDevice::onStateChanged(QAudio::State state)
{
std::lock_guard lock(playMutex);
switch (state)
{
case QAudio::ActiveState:
//qDebug() << "QAudio::ActiveState";
break;
case QAudio::SuspendedState:
//qDebug() << "QAudio::ActiveState";
break;
case QAudio::StoppedState:
//qDebug() << "QAudio::StoppedState";
break;
case QAudio::IdleState:
//qDebug() << "QAudio::IdleState, loopWithStateChanged = " << loopWithStateChanged;
if (loopWithStateChanged)
{
qDebug() << "Continuing a loop." << " Main thread: " << qtil::OnMainThread();
//looks like we need to call start() at this point, because others do not take an effect
//audioOutput.suspend();
//audioOutput.reset();
//audioOutput.resume();
SeekToStart();
//Workaround of QTBUG-99893 QAudioSink::start does not play sound if called from its stateChanged signal handler on MacOS and iOS
#ifdef __APPLE__
audioOutput.reset();
#endif
audioOutput.start(pDevice);
}
else
{
//On MacOS QtSoundDevice::onStateChanged handler is called multiple times with QAudio::IdleState parameter
//when the sound finishes to play.
if (IsStarted())
{
qDebug() << "Stopping a loop." << " Main thread: " << qtil::OnMainThread();
pDevice = nullptr;
ClearFlags();
emit done();
}
else
{
#ifndef __APPLE__
assert(false);
#endif
}
}
break;
}
}
and then I called QAudioSink::start:
void QtSoundDevice::CommonStart(QIODevice * p_device, float, bool loop)
{
qDebug() << (loop ? "Starting a loop" : "Starting a sound.") << ". Main thread: " << qtil::OnMainThread();
std::lock_guard lock(playMutex);
//sound restarts without stop() call
//audioOutput.stop();
audioOutput.reset();
pDevice = p_device;
SeekToStart();
ClearFlags();
loopWithStateChanged = loop;
audioOutput.start(pDevice);
}
as you may have guessed, audioOutput is a variable of type QAudioSink declared here:
class QtSoundDevice : public QObject, public awl::quick_link
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
//skipped some code here ...
bool IsStarted() const
{
return pDevice != nullptr;
}
signals:
void done();
private slots:
void onStateChanged(QAudio::State);
private:
void SeekToStart()
{
pDevice->seek(44); // skip wav header
}
void ClearFlags()
{
loopWithStateChanged = false;
}
QIODevice* pDevice = nullptr;
QAudioSink audioOutput;
bool loopWithStateChanged;
};
The conclusion is that using QT multimedia can cause a severe depression of the central nervous system.
