Hi Robert

I have had the same problem and have been trying different things to come up
with a solution.  I have tried my application on a TT and T3, and in two
months of testing the T3 only hang once, while the TT hangs everytime..  I
have tried using the SystemTaskDelay and for some strange reason, when I put
a delay before stopping the stream, everything seems to work find.  I am
still investigating this solution and I will definitely give yours a try...
I will update you on any future progress, and hope you will do the same...
