Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1) Connect a USB headset so you have at least two sound card inputs
2) Start your favorite recording program - I've tested with both audacity and mumble
3) Make sure this recording program is set to record from pulseaudio and start recording
4) Open gnome-control-center and change the default sound input from one card to the other.
At this point, these two things can be observed:
Problem A) The input stream is not moved from one input to the other.
Problem B) The input gain of the source we move from, is changed.

Raising importance - this is a generic problem and a regression compared to the old sound settings UI

On second testing I can reproduce a). The recording program needs to be recording, changing the default input from control center mid recording reproduces the bug. I will look into this first thing in the morning. Agreed Seb, it's definitely not critical.

Okay, I've now been able to fix the bug that causes the running streams not to be moved when the default source is changed.
From looking at the code, it seems to be an upstream bug as well, and might not be a regression for us - if so, it's strange nobody has cared about it until now.
The code can be merged from here:
