kill MobileMusicPlayer doesn't work on 1.1.3 firmware

[Nic]

For some reason, the MobileMusicPlayer is not killed after the iphone-umount on firmware 1.1.3 iphone. If we look at what's running on the iphone while playing a song for example, we get this:

 PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
    1 ?? Ss 0:02.29 /sbin/launchd
   12 ?? Ss 0:00.32 /Applications/SMSD.app/SMSDNotifier
   14 ?? Ss 0:10.17 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Su

  362 ?? S 0:00.76 /usr/sbin/sshd -i
  363 ?? Rs 0:00.06 ps x

That means that the Music player needs to be restarted by holding the Home button for a while.

Can you double check this? It appears to still use MobileMusicPlayer for me, and nicely die?

I can confirm that on my iPod touch 1.1.3 firmware, MobileMusicPlayer is not killed. The reason is that it does not appear in 'ps x' output. 'ps ax' shows the MobileMusicPlayer process, so if the command is changed to:

PROCESS=`ssh root@$IPADDRESS ps ax | grep MobileMusicPlayer | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'

all is good.
