Drivers must not perform unbalanced calls to stop the entity pipeline, however if they do they will fault in the core media code, as the entity->pipe will be set as NULL. We handle this gracefully in the core with a WARN for the developer. Replace the erroneous check on zero streaming counts, with a check on NULL pipe elements instead, as this is the symptom of unbalanced media_pipeline_stop calls.
