Package: hibernate Version: 1.12-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It can be useful to pause audio players before hibernation for several reasons:
* Machine might resume in a different, audio-sensative environemt
(ie, airplane)
* Some players like quodlibet (at least when using alsa) release the
audio device when paused, which allows it to be unloaded if it's a
problimatic device. This is a lot nicer than letting hibernate kill
the audio player.
* Avoid ugly audio artifacts if music is playing during suspend/resume.
I've written a scriptlet to accomplish this. It's designed to be
extended to work with any audio players that might be running, although
currently it only implements pausing quodlibet. It's enabled as follows:
### audiopause
AudioPause yes
I've attached the scriptlet and I would be happy to see it added to the
hibernate package.
