You can:
1. Kill PA
2. Unload only the ALSA modules that access the underlying audio
device with pacmd or pactl
3. Suspend the ALSA sink/source temporatily via pacmd's or pactl's
suspend-sink.
4. Do the same via the libpulse API, by issuing the calls
pa_context_suspend_sink_by_{index|name}(). pasuspender is a tool
that does just this, pactl too.
5. Use the D-Bus device reservation logic as jackdbus does (only
0.9.15)
I mean, seriously, this are more options to do this than anyone could
ever need... It's almost KDE'ish in its wealth of redundant options ;-)
