I think that is a limitation of pulse audio?

If some sound has already started playing it will not stop here.

May be, we could track what is being played and if the engine is suspended, we suspend the sounds/musics too at the same time.

May be a threaded state to monitor that could handle it nicely?

I actually have this same issue with all the 3.1 alphas and I am on windows 10 same message and it happens even if you are not using audio in the project. Even just opening the sdk you get this same pausing audio device not supported after the ide loads so it is not limited to just our projects.

I’ve got the same issue though it doesn’t seem to be much of a problem.
Anybody knows how to solve this?

In the source code it explains what this means.

// Pause device is a feature used specifically on Android
// where the application could be closed but still running,
// thus the audio context remains open but no audio should be playing.
