Well, there is a save_sink flag we set when we are supposed to save the sink... it's a little confusing and I've not fully groked the code, but it should only be set when the user has specifically moved the stream. However, I'm not 100% sure that is the case right now. I'd have to look at the code to answer 100% here, but certainly the intention is that the sink is only saved if the user has actively moved the sink (e.g. calls the appropriate API command).
