Detailed description

After calling CVoIPAudioUplinkStream::Stop(), a VAS client should still be prepared to receive MVoIPUplinkObserver::EmptyBuffer() callbacks as VAS ensures that all recorded (and buffered) data is delivered.

Deleting the uplink stream immediately after calling Stop() causes a VoIPUplinkThreadMmfDevSoundProxy 1 panic.

Solution

A VAS client should proceed to delete the uplink stream only after receiving a MVoIPUplinkObserver::Event() callback with either KUplinkClosed or KUplinkError as an event type.

Additionally, after calling CVoIPAudioUplinkStream::Stop(), a client should not longer call CVoIPAudioUplinkStream::BufferEmptied() in response to MVoIPUplinkObserver::EmptyBuffer() callbacks.

The VoIPTestApp example application takes care of this by maintaining uplink/downlink state variables and only calling BufferEmptied() if the uplink is in 'streaming' state.
