I guess "APIs" means the sink flag? Or is it visible elsewhere? I don't really
like having that flag there in the public API at all. It's not useful for
clients.

No. I don't agree that "sync_volume" is "just bad". The current name is pretty
generic, but the only problem is that the user has to read some documentation
to understand it. Not a big deal IMO. If someone comes up with a better name,
then that's obviously great, but as long as there are zero suggestions, I don't
think this should be a 1.0 blocker.
