It's called when the sink input is actually made available to the PA system, i.e. after creation and after the code implementing the sink input actaully filled in all method pointers. > > Would moving FIXATE towards the end of the routine be appropriate (I > suspect that moving it could have undesirable side effects if external > hook functions in people's modules were relying on returning anything > other than PA_HOOK_OK, or in further manipulating data.

What you really want is the _PUT hook, as far as I understood your problem.
