It does, yes. Then how about just sending a signal through D-Bus and hoping it isn't ignored? We'll be ridiculed for having a cooperatively multisessioning desktop though. :)
Well, the idea is that the Pulse (be it session or system) doesn't die or get killed and applications running on the desktop are generally unaware anything changed w.r.t sound-- the Pulse mutes their streams, sample and playback get zeroed. The Pulse server, of course, will be 'cooperating', but trusted system software is allowed to be cooperative without being mocked.
