Yes that's true, if your streaming source can be intentionally stopped by
your application then you will need to make sure it doesn't get re-started
in the streaming update code.  Perhaps maintaining a list of active
streaming Sources would help.  You would add a Source to the list when a
stream starts playing, update each source in the list in the update streams
code, and remove a Source from the list when it is stopped intentionally or
reaches the natural end.
