as PA has rerouting capabilities already, couldn't you simply

This would prevent most older applications from crashing I guess.
+1, that's how I'd implement the "muting" I suggested. Let the
applications
still stream to the per-user PA session, but PA just "eat" whatever is being
streamed if there isn't a hardware device it can output to.
