So we had some discussions of the stream states, so I thought it is a
good idea to document the state transitions, so add it documentation

Sorry, this confuses me even more...

a) can you clarify if we can go from running to free directly? is this really a legit transition? There's already the option of doing a stop and a a drain.

b) no way to go back to SETUP from PREPARE? What happens if the app never starts but want to tear down the resources?

c) no way to stop a paused stream?
