Adding sound to sequencer not working in new versions

Coding Python Support

I had this code working fine:

        #----------------------------------------------
        # Add to sequencer
        #----------------------------------------------
        try:
            if self.add_sound == True:
                # first look old copies
                try:
                    context = bpy.context
                    scene = context.scene
                    seq = scene.sequence_editor
                    for strip in seq.sequences_all:
                        if strip.filepath == realpath: 
                            seq.sequences.remove(strip) 
                            break               
                except:
                    x = 1 # dummy
                        
                # Add strip
                bpy.ops.sequencer.sound_strip_add(filepath=realpath
                                                  ,frame_start=self.sound_frame)
            self.report({'INFO'}, realpath + "successfully added to video sequencer")
        except Exception as e:
            print ("Unexpected error:"  + str(sys.exc_info()))
            self.report({'ERROR'}, "Unable to add to video sequencer")

But in Blender 2.72 I get an error of “context is incorrect” in bpy.ops.sequencer.sound_strip_add why?
Something change in API, I cannot see any in the API documentation.

I have made a change and works, but is this the best way?

# Add strip
                oldContext = bpy.context.area.type
                bpy.context.area.type="SEQUENCE_EDITOR" # select right context
                bpy.ops.sequencer.sound_strip_add(filepath=realpath,frame_start=self.sound_frame)

# Back to context
        bpy.context.area.type=oldContext
