The way you are doing it now, the source will in fact keep running, even
if it is
suspended by the user. One mistake above - you cannot immediately discard
the data because at that time you do not know if the source is user
suspended
so you would have to discard any remaining data at some other point like
that:
if (SOURCE_IS_OPENED(source) || is_suspended) {
    if (!is_suspended && u->corkfd >= 0) {
       close pipe for writing
       discard remaining data
    }
do all your other processing
} else if (u->corkfd < 0)
    open pipe for writing
