Hmm, I think you are confusing a few things here. command_cork_playback_stream() is the code that dispatches client requests for corking/uncorking (when done via the native protocol). It is not used when corking something internally as for example by a hook function. Pausing a stream (i.e. corking) should be something that is controlled exclusively by the client. You should not intefere with it from inside the server. There is a state machine in the PA client code that follows the cork state. If you change the state underneath it might become invalid. Also it might confuse client applications due to the paused timing.
