No. For this function there is only the more complex asynchronous API
available. 

The "simple" synchronous API does only the most basic audio playback
and recording. There are no plans to extend it further.

pactl shows how to use pa_context_get_server_info() from your
application. It's a complex example but I am sure you are able to
distill the relavant parts from it easily.
