Pulse includes "pasuspender" to handle this use case.  From the man page:
       pasuspender  is a tool that can be used to tell a local

PulseAudio sound server to temporarily suspend access to the audio

devices, to allow other applications access them directly. pasuspender

will suspend access to the audio devices, fork a child process,

       and when the child process terminates, resume access again.
I guess this should be integrated into qjackctl & friends.
