Should pulse_prepare() clear pcm->stream?

[rick@xxxxxxx (Rick Bronson)]

Hello,

  Lets say you call snd_pcm_prepare() but for some reason the creation
of the stream fails and pa_create_stream_callback() gets called with
command != PA_COMMAND_REPLY then does pa_stream_set_state(s,
PA_STREAM_FAILED).  Just before snd_pcm_prepare() exits, it clears out
pcm->stream.

  The problem here is that when snd_pcm_close() gets called it
references *pcm->stream but it's been set to NULL.

  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
