Ok, I will try to give you a short draft:

KArtsServer can give you a reference to a Arts::SoundServerV2 with server(). 
Looking in arts/soundserver.idl (you have to include arts/soundserver.h) 
there is a function secondsUntilSuspend() which tells you how many seconds 
till the soundserver suspends, if it give you -1 all is well it wont suspend 
since there are active modules...

You could also take a look at kdemultimedia/arts/tools. The artscontrol has 
abilities to check for suspend-state. Maybe you look and copy and paste.

This is what I think of and which should work...
