My thinking was basically that this is not an error. A policy module
said "go ahead and suspend this sink, I think it's not needed", while
some other policy asserted "nope, don't ever suspend this sink". So it's
not an error but a behaviour override.

As for chained suspend causes, the intention of this patch was to only
ignore idle suspend. If something else wants to force a suspend, I think
it should be honoured. That is, the check should be filter out the IDLE
cause if cause is IDLE+<something else>.

Or we do the thing I stated above and (David's going to hate me) add an
assert for this case. If something's modifying that suspend cause and
it's not pa_sink_suspend(), we probably want to catch it and either make
it not do that or make sure it's handling this flag correctly.

Erf, thanks for catching that.

Cheers,
