Comment(by lennart):

 I guess the idea in general does make sense: if a user plugs in a new
 device this could indeed be seen as an indication that he actually wants
 to use it... ;-)

 Some comments on the patch:

 I don't see why this module should hook into
 PA_CORE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_MOVE_FAIL.

 Also, this module should make sure not to touch streams/device that have
 the 'intended roles' property set. Handling of that should be left to
 module-intended-roles. Also, if the "save_device" flag is set for a stream
 it should be left alone, since that is a sign that the user manually moved
 the stream to the device, and we shouldn't fiddle with that.

 Hmm, the find_evacuation_sink() call doesn't make too much sense here,
 does it? I mean, that looks a bit too much like a 1:1 copy from m-rescue-
 streams. But that module looks into devices that go away and then searches
 for a replacement sink fo the stream, this module here looks into sinks
 being added, and they themselves should be the destination where to move
 streams to.
