whatever is was originally)

Comment(by coling):
I don't think pasuspender should do this personally. Fiddling about with
your config files is always going to end up severely pissing some users
off. And restoring them again could also lead to some kind of invalid
state in the event of a crash or power failure etc.
A better solution would be to make the pulse alsa plugin fall back to dmix
if pulseaudio was unable to handle the request (e.g. due to it being
suspended). I think sjoerd had some code to potentially do just that, but
I'm not sure how stable it ultimately turned out to be.
Even then, the ultimate proper solution is to fix whatever app required
you to use pasuspender in the first place, so it can go through pulse like
everything else!
