The part that matters (the dbus service) is launched using dbus activation. That means that when any program tries to access the dbus service at namespace "com.canonical.indicator.sound", the dbus daemon will run the activation script (the bit you want to patch). In theory this should never happen when the panel is not running but there is no guarantee of this.
