Hi JeongYeon,

sorry, but it still does not look right to me. Now you always remove the 
filter.apply
property when the stream is moved away. This should only be done for streams
that have been moved to the filter sink/source and did not have 
filter.apply set initially.

That's why I said you need an additional flag to mark those streams 
where the property
has been set by module-filter-apply.

If a stream that had filter.apply set initially is moved to another 
sink/source, then the filter
should be applied again (a new filter, since the master sink/source has 
changed).

If a stream that did not have filter.apply set initially is moved away, 
the property should
be removed and no new filter applied.

Also, a property list change might add or remove the filter.apply 
property. If it is added,
we want that the filter is applied. Your patch does nothing and assumes 
that the stream
is already filtered, even if the stream is not on a filter sink.


So the overall logic is as follows (assuming that filter.mfa_added is 
the flag that indicates
whether module-filter-apply has set the filter.apply property):

1) If a stream with filter.apply set and filter.mfa_added unset is 
moved/put to a non-filter
sink, the filter should be applied. This is also true, if the stream is 
moved away from
another filter sink. From the stream perspective it just means that the 
master sink has
changed.

2) If a stream with filter.apply unset is moved/put to a filter sink, 
module-filter-apply should
set the filter.apply and the filter.mfa_added properties. Because the 
stream is already at the
right sink then, nothing else needs to be done.

3) If a stream with both, filter.apply set and filter.mfa_added set, is 
moved to a non-filter sink,
the two properties should be removed. The stream is already at the right 
sink then, so
nothing else needs to be done.

4) If the filter.apply property is added/removed manually and so causes 
a proplist_change
event, the filter should be added/removed. We can always unset 
filter.mfa_added in that
situation because then the user chose what is needed. All other proplist 
changes can be
safely ignored (meaning that if the stream is already filtered and 
filter.apply is set or the
stream is not filtered and filter.apply is unset we don't need to do 
anything).

I hope this is clarifies the approach. If you are unsure or do not 
understand what I mean,
please contact me on IRC and we can discuss it further.

Regards
              Georg
