pipe-source module can't generate silence if no writers connected
because it has no clock. Aactually incoming data has some clock, but
not pipe-source itself. Use the system clock to generate silence
is a bad idea because it may differ from incoming data clock.
For example the loopback module connected to pipe-source without
writers just spams messages like this:
[alsa-sink-USB Audio] module-loopback.c: Could not peek into queue
I can make autosuspend behaviour optional.
