Bugzilla Bug 222267

@alsa,

Adding an option to /etc/conf.d/alsasound to terminate processes on stop.  The
var name might need a better name.  Leave the default to on.

# TERMINATE_ON_STOP
# Do you want to kill any processes using ALSA when alsasound stops?
# Warning: may create some unexpected window behavior or
# crash running applications
# no - Do not terminate ALSA processes
# yes - Kill running processes
TERMINATE_ON_STOP="yes"

init script:

stop() {
        if [ ! -d /proc/asound ] ; then
                eerror "ALSA is not loaded"
                return 0
        fi

        [ "${SAVE_ON_STOP}" = "yes" ] && save

        if [ "${TERMINATE_ON_STOP}" = "yes" ] ; then
                ebegin "Killing processes using ALSA"
                terminate
                eend 0
        fi


If no objections, I'll commit later.

Excellent idea. I'm all for it.
