Why is sink_input_may_move_to_cb() in module-loopback.c calling pa_sink_input_set_rate()? That doesn't sound like a proper place to do such a thing. If there was the kind of function that you propose, would it return false in this scenario? If so, that would just make module-alsa-card.c kill the sink input, because it's not going to cancel the profile change just because some sink input refuses to be moved. -- Tanu _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
