Make pipe-source suspended if all writers closed fifo.
Source will be automatically unsuspended if any data will
be written to pipe and suspended again when last writer

What is the motivation/use case for the patch? Normally, if there
are no writers, the source should deliver silence like any other
source without input signal.
pipe-source module can't generate silence if no writers connected
because it has no clock. Aactually incoming data has some clock, but
not pipe-source itself. Use the system clock to generate silence
is a bad idea because it may differ from incoming data clock.
Take a look at the recent patches for pipe-sink that introduced using
system-clock timing. I guess something similar should be possible
for the pipe-source. Why would it be a problem, if the timing of the
silence is slightly different from that of the writer? Different writers
may have different timing anyway, so if one writer disconnects
and another connects, timing may change.
module-loopback is able to deal with sample rate changes on the
input side and will adapt the sample rate of the output side so that
it matches the incoming rate to keep a constant latency.
For example the loopback module connected to pipe-source without
writers just spams messages like this:
[alsa-sink-USB Audio] module-loopback.c: Could not peek into queue
I can make autosuspend behaviour optional.
Making it optional is a good idea in any case.
