That day is almost here. Using PulseAudio 0.9.15-test5 git and the latest wine
git one can get audio to work through winealsa.drv using the pulse alsa plugin
with reasonable success. That said, it makes wine a second-class citizen of
pulseaudio. Some of it's best features, such as the glitch-free playback method
(dynamic hardware buffer size), latency handling and complex audio
configurations cannot be exposed or efficiently used.

pasuspender <command> can do exactly that. This is through the functions
pa_context_suspend_sink_by_index() and pa_context_suspend_source_by_index with
PA_INVALID_INDEX as an argument.
