Yes, we should do this as well, and it's something we can do for the 1.7.0 release. I'll try to remember to hack the Mixxx.desktop file in our "debian" directory tomorrow. (I was playing around with pasuspender today and it behaves reasonably well. It just suspends all background audio when Mixxx starts, which is as good as you could hope for.)
