I wouldn't rewrite this module but rather write your own, independent 
module that watches for when sinks become suspended and take the 
appropriate action. The module API provides all the necessary glue for 
you to listen for such events and means your code is completely separate 
and stand alone (and thus easier to maintain :))

If the code is generic then it would be great if you could share it. 
Wouldn't use it myself as I don't think I have any hardware that would 
work with this, but others may like it :)
