Yeah I think I mentioned this chicken+egg on the wiki (or if I didn't I
had it in my head and *meant* to mention it!).

The problem is currently that module-stream-restore happens during
PA_CORE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_NEW and as a result may assign a sink to a
stream which would mean that we wouldn't do the routing (i.e. for the
same reason that we wouldn't want to do any routing if they caller
specified a specific device to use when they connected their stream).

But this can be changed, and if we remove (or disable-by-default) the
restore-device part of module-stream-restore then the routing can happen
after PA_CORE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_NEW hook and thus the property can be written.

That was my thinking at least.
