 I'm not sure if you agree with this but I think it would be nice if
 rescued streams were somehow marked as such (e.g. "rescued from <sink>")
 and automatically restored to the original sink if it becomes available
 again.

 e.g. if I'm speaking on a call on my usb headset and it is accidentally
 unplugged. The rescue streams module should "rescue" it to e.g. my built
 in sound card which is good, but when I plug the USB in again, I'd have to
 manually restore the stream via pavucontrol.

 If the longevity of this auto-restore is an issue I think a TTL on the
 "rescued from <sink>" flag with a default of say 30s - 1m would probably
 work in most practical circumstances.

 WDYT?
