Hi, As part of the passthrough/compressed data support in PulseAudio, we need to disable monitoring. The main use of monitoring is to build peakmeters to show volume information, and that just doesn't make sense for compressed raw data....
I have also been using it several times to record things as streaming music, skype conversations etc. So I would say that the peak meters are not the only main usage of monitoring.
Also, we always have a sink and a source, because of module-auto-sink that adds a null sink (and a monitor of that) if no sinks exists. If we end up having no sources at all, would that open up a can of worms?
I would say to go with keeping the monitoring source - either decode it, leave the raw data as it is, or write zeroes, whatever we conclude is the best way to go.
