More suitable to what has actually happened then having an 'active' sink which doesn't accept audio, pausing whatever streams happen to be playing to it at the time (and causing a 'hang' in the sound app, though I know that's an app bug in audio handling). Right now I can just manually move the stream to the module-jack-sink output and the app continues fine, but if the sink had been marked 'off', this would have happened automatically I believe. This second suggestion is more wish-list than anything, since I know its not as simple as the first.
