Probably yes, since it seems that PA's client API doesn't contain
functions for suspending sinks (i.e. release devices). But why would
you want to use something else than D-Bus? This piece of functionality
was developed in cooperation with the Jack developers for just this
use case (or so I believe). Even if there were other ways, Jack would
need to modified to use those ways, so what's wrong with this
particular solution?
