These changes look good to me. Please see a minor nit below.

minor nit: s/until the selected/until *a* selected/

There could be multiple sinks activated that can be reached from the 
source. But we choose the "closest" possible selected sink for a source.
So, it may be better to drop "the".

Similarly here.

Rest looks fine to me.
