While I am at it, what was the rationale for the new PA_SINK_IDLE state introduced in 0.9.15. From what I understand this is a running sink with no incoming data (no non-corked inputs). But the state transitions in alsa-sink essentially consider this state as a PA_SINK_RUNNING one. So if you have a suspended sink and add an input in corked mode, the sink will go to IDLE mode, which will start transmitting silence and after a timeout the sink will go to suspend again. D'oh! Why not suspend if you don't have anything to transmit? Cheers Pierre
