FS#5076 - voice UI crash after exiting recording screen

If the voice UI is in use and one exits the recording screen without having made a recording, the voice UI will die and most often cause Rockbox to crash. To reproduce this:
1. Ensure that the voice UI is enabled and a voice file is being used.
2. Enter the recording screen.
3. Press stop to exit.

As a work around, one can enable prerecording. (Set it to 1 second if prerecording is not actually desired.) If prerecording is enabled, this crash does not occur.

Code thoughts:
It seems that both making a recording and using prerecording cause talk_buffer_steal() to be called, so I assume calling talk_buffer_steal() prevents the voice UI crash from occurring. Speech does not work in the recording screen anyway (at least on SWCODEC targets), so perhaps talk_buffer_steal() could always be called on the recording screen regardless of whether prerecording is enabled. I understand, however, that this might be a dirty hack which does not address the actual cause.

Does this still happen in a recent build?

Sure does, although thankfully, the prerecording work around still works. I’m not sure whether this is entirely related, but this comment/patch might also be useful:

This has been fixed in CVS:
“30 Apr 22:28: Peter: apps/recorder/recording.c 1.106 firmware/pcm_record.c 1.21: The recording buffer should not try to use the voice buffer, so map our buffer after it. On swcodec targets, recording always uses this buffer so always notify the others that we did. Fixes  bug 4754 .” This is definitely a fix for this bug (5076). However, regarding  bug 4754 , according to my understanding of the code, talk_buffer_steal() was always called when recording was started (i.e. the rec button was pressed). Therefore, a crash after stopping subsequent to a certain time of recording could not have been related to this talk_buffer_steal() fix.

There were in fact two bugs: not calling talk_buffer_steal(),
but also the fact that recording didn’t care about the part of the buffer in use by voice and happily overwrote it.

Can you please confirm that this bug can be closed?
