As Charles pointed it is legit one, but then from SM we should remove running->free arrow to clarify. Internally, free in running, draining and paused triggers a stop and then free. > b) no way to go back to SETUP from PREPARE? What happens if the app never > starts but want to tear down the resources? See above, free would trigger an internal step to stop (setup) and then freed. Btw I am not adding changes to code but documenting the 'existing' behaviour, so a code lookup will help > c) no way to stop a paused stream? Yes missed that, will add. -- ~Vinod
