[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] rtp-send: Don't inhibit suspending when connected to a monitor source

[Tanu Kaskinen]

The flag was originally set unconditionally, but it was removed in
298ffffd1a3cf5ac4fbfe9cf793a5eb59162f892, because the flag broke the
use case where a normal source (e.g. a microphone) was used. The flag
makes sense only with monitor sources, which should get suspended when
nothing is playing to the monitored sink to avoid consuming bandwidth
for sending silence.
