Sure.  Though how long do you wait?  Is it conditional on update urgency?
 And pulse has a similar problem in that the stream source identification
needs the same infrastructure we're doing for the shell, so it could tell
you what applications are using it.

This is highly specific to pulse, which gets back to my point: If someone
wants to work on case-by-case for individual daemons I think that's great.
 However, it's not a substitute for a default-reliable update system.
