Probably yes, since it seems that PA's client API doesn't contain functions for suspending sinks (i.e. release devices). But why would you want to use something else than D-Bus? This piece of functionality was developed in cooperation with the Jack developers for just this use case (or so I believe). Even if there were other ways, Jack would need to modified to use those ways, so what's wrong with this particular solution? -- Tanu Kaskinen
