I haven't had any feedback on this.  What is meant by "assigned to them
and going away"?  Which pulseaudio functions implements this?  I have
looked for "going", "away", "destroy", etc. in the pulseaudio headers (I
didn't find any other documentation in the source package), to no avail.

Do you have ideas on which keywords I should look for in pulseaudio?
(I'm fine with diving in the source coed, I'd just rather not start
without any clue what to look for)
