between volume and volume there is an adder which does the mixing.

in theory gnomevfssrc will push out an eos event right after the last 
buffer.  When this event reaches adder, adder will send an event back that 
tells all of the plugins to close up, or might send a signal to the app to 
say "clean up this input pipe".

In practice, events are still to be added to allow for this to happen.

I will take a look at it.  Is this code I added or code you added ? The 
demo mix app I put in monkey sound works for me.  At least I did when I 
committed it ;)

I'll look it over as soon as I have the time.  Others are of course 
welcome to join in ;)
