[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] always-sink: Don't unload ourselves if a filter sink shows up

[arun at accosted.net]

From: Arun Raghavan <git at arunraghavan.net>

If we don't do this, autoloading a filter module on top of the null sink
results in an infinite loop of:

  1. Load null sink since there are no real sinks
  2. Load filter sink when a stream wants it
  3. We have a (filter) sink, unload null sink
  4. Goto 1
