Ahhh.  But can one cork a "music" app. when a "phone" app opens a
different sink?  The use-case here is that while I use my bluetooth
headset for phone calls, I still want to cork the music player on my
speakers.

To make it even more interesting, the bluetooth headset is paired to a
different machine, to which I do have network access to the sinks and
sources though so there is "visibility" of the PA where the headset is
from the PA that is playing the music.

It seems Rhythmbox is not one of these applications sadly.

Yes, that seems to work.
