Yes, sure...

Yes, thanks, this is similar to the code that I already use.

I've thought more about this; what got me confused and caused my original question was what 
happens in code like in your example when alSourceStop() is called while the stream is playing:

After a call to alSourceStop(), the update code might still find that buffers have been 
processed, and thus set bAddedNewAudio = AL_TRUE, -- and erroneously restart the audio!

So calling alSourceStop() alone is not enough - additional code is required that e.g. clears the 
buffer queue as well so that accidental restarts in the update code are avoided.

Many thanks for your help!  :-)

Best regards,
Carsten
