33 <p><file>pasuspender</file> is a tool that can be used to tell a
34 local PulseAudio sound server to temporarily suspend access to the
35 audio devices, to allow other
36 applications access them directly. <file>pasuspender</file> will
37 suspend access to the audio devices, fork a child process, and
38 when the child process terminates, resume access again.</p>
39
40 <p>Make sure to include <opt>--</opt> in
41 your <file>pasuspender</file> command line before passing the
42 subprocess command line (as shown
43 above). Otherwise <file>pasuspender</file> itself might end up
44 interpreting the command line switches and options you intended to
45 pass to the subprocess.</p>
