How about starting pasuspender in a clever way somewhere in, say, .login? It would need some dummy never-ending process as a mandatory argument, but I'm sure that can be figured out easily. man pasuspender I mean, if you are determined to hack your system to not use pa for sound, the cleanest way would be to use the "off switch" provided by the pa itself, right? However, I believe you still need to manually configure audio players to use alsa drivers.
