PulseAudio already offers ways for applications to request exclusive control of
the hardware via a DBus reservation protocol. jackd already uses this mechanism
to wrestle control away from us.

By the very nature of how PA works, it's impossible to set it up in any vaguely
sensible way to "share" the h/w.

So closing this bug as wontfix.

Obviously the underlying problems that resulted in this request should be
investigated and fixed (the classic case of posting a "problem" in the form of
a "solution" as a bug report - "problems" are generally better posted as
"problems" :)).
