The subscription logic is for asynchronous notification. It's purely
informational, you may not use it to interfere with the normal state
logic of the core.

I think you are looking for the hooks defined in
pa_core->hooks[]. They allow you to install hook functions at several
places that can be used to modify the normal behaviour of the core.

See modules/module-rescue-streams.c for an example how to use that.
