Detecting when data source disappears?

Sorry about reposting.  I botched up the subject line, messing up the 
threading.

I've attached the CLI file and the shell script I use to run it. The 
sequence is:

./restart-pulse.sh dist/data/sine-2x6.pa
parec --device="test_sink0.monitor" --format=ulaw --rate=8000 
--channels=6 --channel-map="aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5" parec0.raw

Wait 10 seconds, then in another terminal:

pactl unload-module module-remap-sink # or pactl unload-module module-sine

Wait another 10 seconds, then kill parec with ctrl-c.  I then look at 
parec0.raw by importing it in audacity (u-law, 6channels, 8000 smp/sec).

Will do.
