Comment (by coling):

 I'm not sure here, but I doubt the two problem (here and #417) are the
 same in terms of API deprecation etc.

 The default sink stuff is possibly just related to a late-binding of the
 sink names.

 e.g. you can set the sink name to something random that doesn't exits, but
 when you try to use the default sink, it will be noticed that it doesn't
 exits and module-rescue-streams kicks in and punts it on to a real sink
 (not sure if it updates the default-sink value or not.. I'd have to look?)

 I could be totally wrong here... this could just be a bug plain and
 simple.

 I'll try and debug a little more, but Lennart will be able to answer
 authoritatively.
