[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#903212: alsa-utils: speaker-test catches SIGINT and can't be interrupted

[Mikulas Patocka]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Run speaker-test (for example "speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -f 200 -s 2")
Press Ctrl-c

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The speaker-test program catches the SIGINT signal and ignores it.
It can't be interrupted.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The speaker-test program should be interruptible.

It is possible that the speaker-test program creates sounds that are
unpleasant or painful and there should be possibility to interrupt it.

Note - it is possible to interrupt it with Ctrl-\, but unfortunatelly,
that writes 279MB core file and the sound doesn't stop until the file is
written.
