Any best practice to implement job queue in Kotlin using coroutines?

Here is my code

val queue = LinkedBlockingQueue<Note>()
    var closed = false

    init {
        async(CommonPool) {
            while (!closed) {
                while (!closed && queue.isEmpty()) {
                    delay(50)
                }
                while (!closed && !queue.isEmpty()) {
                    play(queue.take())
                }
            }
        }
    }

I don't like delay(50) and I think it's not sufficient.

Someone mentioned channels and actors. Let me have a look

Yes. They are covered here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/coroutines-guide.md
