Need some clarification about closing files when reading them for audio streams

[eliasdaler]

Hello. I was looking at this example and noticed that the comment there says:

        // In this example, embedded resource "Jab_wav" is used.
	//
	// If you want to use a wav file, open this and pass the file stream to wav.Decode.
	// Note that file's Close() should not be closed here
	// since audio.Player manages stream state.

Does this mean that it's not meant to be closed inside the NewGame function? Because the comments for NewPlayer say:

// A Player doesn't close src even if src implements io.Closer.
// Closing the source is src owner's responsibility.

So, am I right to assume that if I use os.File for my wav sound, I still need to close it manually after the player is closed?

Right. Ebiten doesn't care the audio source's closing state, so it's your responsibility to close the source.
