The meters and spectrum analyzer are not separate processes. They are
implemented as functions in the low level C code that handles the audio
processing. There is a check at the beginning of the function that
checks a variable to see if the appropriate screenview is active and
just returns if that capability is not being displayed.

Whats probably happening in that with the display turned off you can't
tell if the meter or spectrum analyzer is showing or not. Randomly
touching the screen can switch between the display modes so it's
certainly possible to accidentally turn on one of these modes without
realizing it.
