I can't think if anything simple to handle this. However. if we're going
to have to apply some policy on a per-profile basis, perhaps we could
let modules set a "can-quick-suspend" property or some such on the sink
which module-suspend-on-idle can look for. This leaves the decision to
the module that exposes the sink which, in theory, knows best about this
anyway.
