ALSA audio state not stopped on pause #100
Description
Hardware: RaspberryPi 3B
After pausing music playback (since a dedicated stop button is unavailable), the ALSA audio state remains running rather than transitioning to 'closed.' This behavior differs from services like Raspotify, which close the playback state upon pausing.
Before playing:
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status
closed
During playing:
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status

Would you be able to test #101?
