The sink goes away while the passthrough stream is running. Should be possible to add a sink unlink hook that runs before module-rescue-streams and restores sink-inputs to the sink. 2. The passthrough sink input is moved. Just need to hook up to the sink input MOVE_FINISH hook and treat it the same way as sink input unlink. I think that should be it. Cheers, Arun
