Nice. A related thing which might be nice to add for jack1 users:

#!/bin/sh
alsa_request_device --pid $! Audio0 &
exec jackd -d alsa -d hw:0


That will not suspend pulseaudio, but instead tell PA to release the
specific device only (and connect to jack instead if the pa-jack module
is installed) for as long as jackd is running.
