When converting a listener to a channel is there a better way than creating a channel inside produce and then iterating it like here?

@Paul Woitaschek Now, you can use invokeOnClose. I'm planning to improve this library when streams and alike APIs arrive in coroutines though. Right now current channels APIs is about to become obsolete

Channel API will not become obsolete 🙂
Channel is a good abstraction for hot-streams and suspending queue-like structures.

We rather deprecate all API which tries to use channels as cold streams
