The patch adds sink_input->sink and source_output->source checks, and checking those pointers is only relevant during stream moves (or during stream initialization before the routing has been decided, but the callbacks aren't used that early). At all other times the sink and source pointers are non-NULL. > I think the rewind callback is called during a move, the > PA_SINK_MESSAGE_START_MOVE calls request_rewind(). That happens before detaching the sink input, so the sink pointer is not NULL. > Also the other checks are not pointless.

The only time when a virtual sink is not connected to a master sink is when the virtual sink is being moved to a different master, and client commands (such as volume and mute change commands) are not processed during moves. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
