Comment(by coling):

 Oops, yeah, I was refereing to the sink, and them implied the
 corresponding monitor sink when I said "request the data from the tunnel
 sink". It made sense to me, but I agree it wasn't clear and better
 terminology could have been used.

 And yeah that's a possibility to prevent VUM on non-hardware sinks (or at
 least exclude tunnels specifically). It'll be a little trickier for the
 streams themselves tho' (e.g. not showing a VU for a monitor on a Sink
 Input connected to a tunnel), but maybe things work OK in this scenario
 anyway and avoid the round trip (all the data IS available on this side of
 the tunnel after all...), but perhaps it doesn't work that way.

 But simply passing the DONT_INHIBIT_AUTO_SUSPEND flag in pavucontrol when
 opening the record streams (as I think I mentioned somewhere) may also
 work nicely. Not tried it out yet but that could make the whole suspending
 part of things work happily at least.

 I'll see if I have time to hack a bit on pavucontrol over the weekend.
