Is that necessary at all? If an additional port becomes available
or unavailable (lets say I plug in/out head phones) the sink does
not change. Only if the last port becomes available/unavailable
the sink also becomes available/unavailable and in that case the
switch to/from the sink will be handled elsewhere.

Or am I thinking wrong?
