No. Stream state changes do not result in freeing of any
resources. You always have to drop all references you are keeping
(with pa_stream_unref()) before resources are freed.

The PA_STREAM_TERMINATED state is only entered if you locally change
terminate a stream by calling pa_stream_disconnect(). Any error or
externally triggered state change is forward to you as a
PA_STREAM_FAILED state.
