+Subject: [PATCH] policy-node: fix potential rescan loop
+
+SiLink activation might be delayed indefinitely under some error
+conditions. Currently, policy-node schedules a rescan when it sees a
+non-activated link on a stream to be moved, which produces busy loop if
+the si-link doesn't activate.
+
+Instead of rescheduling on non-active si-links, just remove and emit a
+warning. The si-link then gets removed once it gets activated.
+
+Reproducer:
+
+1. Play audio from Rhythmbox and pause.
+2. Switch default output with pactl between two different outputs
+3. Links from the paused stream stay at "init"
