  Summary

  Thread 6640 (TFSrvThread) is blocked in SendSync at GpIcsSoapRpcComp.pas:1693,
   waiting on WaitForMultipleObjects for a response that will never come. The
  server stopped responding mid-request.

  Previous requests completed normally with ~26-second cycles (matching
  TimeoutSecs_i := 25). The last request at 11:28:40 never got a
  HandleRequestDone — the server went unresponsive.

  The three threads involved

  1. Sender thread (19108) — at GpIcsSoapRpcComp.pas:1522 in
  MsgWaitForMultipleObjects. It's pumping the ICS message loop, but no socket
  data or completion messages arrive because the server is silent. The ICS 
  THttpCli has no HTTP response timeout configured (SafeExecute at line
  1503-1509 never sets a timeout property), so it waits indefinitely.
  2. TFSrvThread (6640) — at GpIcsSoapRpcComp.pas:1693 in
  WaitForMultipleObjects. It's waiting for:
    - evtDone — never signaled (sender never completes)
    - evtProgress — never signaled (no data arriving)
    - Event — not signaled (no new work from UI)
    - TerminateEvent — not signaled (main thread is blocked, see below)
  3. Main thread (24388) — stuck in TFABAudioReceiver.Destroy →
  TOmniTaskControl.WaitFor → DSiWaitForTwoObjects (Main.pas:26953), waiting for
  the audio receiver OTL task to terminate. The audio receiver worker (thread
  19264) is stuck in TFABWASAPIBase.Shutdown. Because the main thread is
  blocked, it never signals TerminateEvent for TFSrvThread.

  The mystery: why didn't SyncCancelAfter_ms work?

  CreateClient sets SyncCancelAfter_ms := 50000 (SttwinClient.pas:173). This
  should cause SendSync to break out of its wait loop after 50 seconds at line
  1669-1670:

  if cancelAfter_ms > 0 then begin
    if executionTime > cancelAfter_ms then
      break; //repeat

  The watchdogInterval_ms = 1000 caps each wait to 1 second, so the elapsed time
   check runs frequently. Yet the thread has been stuck for 2 hours. Possible
  explanations:

  - Most likely: SyncCancelAfter_ms is somehow 0 at call time. The constructor
  (GpIcsSoapRpcComp.pas:1793) does NOT initialize rcSyncCancelAfter_ms — it's
  implicitly 0. If CreateClient ran but something went wrong, or if there's a
  different code path creating the client without setting this property,
  cancelAfter_ms = 0 would skip the timeout check entirely, making the loop
  infinite (only escapable via events).
  - Less likely: A cancel event handle is in an invalid state, causing
  WaitForMultipleObjects to behave unexpectedly.

  Root Causes

  1. No HTTP-level timeout on the ICS client — THttpCli in SafeExecute (line
  1503-1509) has no response timeout. If the server hangs after accepting the
  connection, the sender thread waits forever.
  2. The SendSync cancel handler has a gap — at lines 1711-1721, when a cancel
  event fires but sender.RequestID <> requestID, the code does nothing and
  continues the loop without breaking. If a manual-reset cancel event (like
  Event which is CreateEvent(nil, true, false, nil) at SttwinClient.pas:105)
  stays signaled, this path would spin, though the timeout check should still
  eventually fire.
  3. The SyncCancelAfter_ms = 50000 safety net appears to have failed —
  suggesting the value may be 0 at runtime, removing the last defense against a
  stuck request.

  Recommendations

  1. Set an HTTP timeout on THttpCli in SafeExecute — this is the first line of
  defense.
  2. Make the watchdog timeout in SendSync unconditional — even when
  watchdogEvent is nil and cancelAfter_ms is 0, the loop should have a maximum
  lifetime. Currently, when both are nil/0, the loop has no exit condition other
   than events.
  3. Add a default for rcSyncCancelAfter_ms in the TGpIcsSoapRpcClient
  constructor — initialize it to a reasonable value (e.g., 60000) so that
  forgetting to set it doesn't result in an infinite wait.
  4. Investigate the main thread deadlock separately — TFABWASAPIBase.Shutdown
  blocking on thread 19264 is a separate issue that prevents clean termination
  of the entire application.

  Thread 19264 holds the receiver's FLock (acquired at
  FAB.Audio.Receiver.pas:176 in Cleanup), then tries to destroy FWASAPICapture
  (line 178), which calls Shutdown → FTaskControl.Terminate() — waiting for the
  capture thread to exit.

  But the capture thread (13684) is inside ProcessBuffer →
  FOnAudioAvailableEvent.Invoke → HandleAudioCaptured, which tries to enter the
  same TFABAudioReceiver.FLock at line 292. It can't, because thread 19264 holds
   it.

  Root cause

  TFABAudioReceiver.Cleanup acquires FLock before destroying FWASAPICapture. But
   destroying the capture object blocks until the capture thread exits, and the
  capture thread's callback needs the same lock.

  Fix

  Release the lock before destroying the WASAPI capture, or stop the capture
  thread before acquiring the lock. For example, in Cleanup:

  procedure TFABAudioReceiver.Cleanup();
  begin
    // ... NDI/Decklink cleanup ...

    // Stop capture thread BEFORE acquiring FLock, to avoid deadlock
    // with HandleAudioCaptured which also needs FLock
    if Assigned(FWASAPICapture) then
      FWASAPICapture.Shutdown;

    EnterCriticalSection(FLock);
    try
      FreeAndNil(FWASAPICapture);  // now safe — capture thread is already 
  stopped
      FreeAndNil(FBufferNotifier);
      FreeAndNil(FCaptureDevice);
      FreeAndNil(FAudioDecoder);
      FreeAndNil(FAudioConverter);
      if Assigned(FIntermediateData) then
        FreeMem(FIntermediateData);
    finally
      LeaveCriticalSection(FLock);
    end;
  end;

  By calling FWASAPICapture.Shutdown (which terminates the capture thread and
  waits for it) before entering FLock, the capture thread can finish its current
   HandleAudioCaptured call (which needs FLock), then exit. After that, it's
  safe to acquire FLock and free the object.

● Good — Terminate() calls WaitFor(maxWait_ms) with default INFINITE, so it
  blocks until the thread exits. Now I have the full picture.

  Here's the analysis of the proposed fix and a deeper issue I found:

  Problems with the proposed fix

  Problem 1: Pre-existing deadlock inside Shutdown itself

  The proposed fix (calling FWASAPICapture.Shutdown before acquiring Receiver
  FLock) solves the observed deadlock, but there's a second deadlock lurking
  inside Shutdown itself that the original stack trace didn't hit — only by
  luck:

  procedure TFABWASAPIBase.Shutdown();        // FAB.CoreAudio.pas:854
  begin
    EnterCriticalSection(FLock);              // acquires WASAPI FLock
    try
      Stop();
      if Assigned(FTaskControl) then
        FTaskControl.Terminate();             // waits for capture thread 
  (INFINITE)
      FTaskControl := nil;
    finally
      LeaveCriticalSection(FLock);
    end;
  end;

  FTaskControl.Terminate() waits (with INFINITE timeout via WaitFor) for the
  capture thread to exit — while holding WASAPI FLock.

  Meanwhile, the capture thread in ProcessBuffer (FAB.CoreAudio.pas:1173)
  acquires the same FLock:

  // ProcessBuffer (capture thread):
  EnterCriticalSection(FLock);       // WASAPI FLock — blocked if Shutdown holds
   it!
  try
    if FOnAudioAvailableEvent.CanInvoke then
      FOnAudioAvailableEvent.Invoke(Self, pData, bytesToRead);
  finally
    LeaveCriticalSection(FLock);
  end;

  If the capture thread is between the DSiWaitForTwoObjects return and this
  EnterCriticalSection when Shutdown runs, you get:

  ┌─────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┐
  │     Thread      │    Holds     │            Waiting for             │
  ├─────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Shutdown caller │ WASAPI FLock │ capture thread to exit (Terminate) │
  ├─────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────┤
  │ Capture thread  │ (nothing)    │ WASAPI FLock (line 1173)           │
  └─────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────────────────────────────┘

  This is the same pattern — holding a lock while waiting for a thread that
  needs that lock.

  In the stack trace from the log, the capture thread happened to already be
  past line 1173 (inside HandleAudioCaptured), so this particular scenario
  didn't occur — the Receiver FLock deadlock triggered first. But both are real.

  Problem 2: Double Shutdown is safe (not a problem)

  FreeAndNil(FWASAPICapture) → Destroy → Shutdown (second call). In the second
  call, FTaskControl is already nil (set to nil in first Shutdown), so
  Terminate() is skipped. Stop() on an already-stopped client is harmless. This
  is fine.

  Correct fix

  Both deadlocks have the same root cause: calling FTaskControl.Terminate()
  (which blocks) while holding a lock the target thread needs. The fix is to
  move Terminate() outside the lock.

  TFABWASAPIBase.Shutdown — extract FTaskControl under the lock, terminate
  outside:

  procedure TFABWASAPIBase.Shutdown();
  var
    taskControl: IOmniTaskControl;
  begin
    EnterCriticalSection(FLock);
    try
      Stop();
      taskControl := FTaskControl;
      FTaskControl := nil;
    finally
      LeaveCriticalSection(FLock);
    end;
    if Assigned(taskControl) then
      taskControl.Terminate();
  end;

  TFABAudioReceiver.Cleanup — stop the capture thread before acquiring the lock:

  procedure TFABAudioReceiver.Cleanup();
  begin
    if Assigned(FNDIReceiver) then
    begin
      FNDIReceiver.OnAudioPacket.Remove(HandleNDIAudio);
      FNDIReceiver.OnConnectionChange.Remove(HandleNDIConnectionChange);
      FNDIReceiver := nil;
    end;

    if Assigned(FDecklinkInput) then
    begin
      FDecklinkInput.OnAudioVideoFrameArrived.Remove(HandleDecklinkAVFrame);
      FDecklinkInput := nil;
    end;

    // Shutdown capture thread BEFORE acquiring FLock to prevent deadlock:
    // capture thread's callback (HandleAudioCaptured) needs FLock
    if Assigned(FWASAPICapture) then
      FWASAPICapture.Shutdown;

    EnterCriticalSection(FLock);
    try
      FreeAndNil(FWASAPICapture);
      FreeAndNil(FBufferNotifier);
      FreeAndNil(FCaptureDevice);
      FreeAndNil(FAudioDecoder);
      FreeAndNil(FAudioConverter);
      if Assigned(FIntermediateData) then
        FreeMem(FIntermediateData);
    finally
      LeaveCriticalSection(FLock);
    end;
  end;

  Why this is safe

  With both changes combined, when Cleanup calls FWASAPICapture.Shutdown:

  1. Shutdown acquires WASAPI FLock, calls Stop(), extracts FTaskControl,
  releases WASAPI FLock
  2. Shutdown calls Terminate() — waits for capture thread
  3. If capture thread is in ProcessBuffer at line 1173 — it can acquire WASAPI
  FLock (now free), invoke the callback, acquire Receiver FLock (also free — not
   held by anyone), complete, release both locks, return to WorkerMethod, see
  task.Terminated, exit
  4. Terminate() returns, Shutdown returns
  5. Cleanup acquires Receiver FLock, destroys objects (capture thread is
  already dead), releases

  No lock is held while waiting for the other thread. No deadlock possible.

  Backwards compatibility

  - Shutdown is virtual — check if any subclass overrides it.

  Searched for 1 pattern (ctrl+o to expand)

● No overrides. The changes are safe — Shutdown is only implemented in
  TFABWASAPIBase, and both callers (Destroy and Initialize) will work correctly
  with the new behavior since Stop() still runs under the lock and Terminate()
  just moves outside it.
