NAME
pasuspender - Temporarily suspend PulseAudio
SYNOPSIS
pasuspender [options] -- PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS ...]
pasuspender --help
pasuspender --version
DESCRIPTION
pasuspender is a tool that can be used to tell a local PulseAudio sound
server to temporarily suspend access to the audio devices, to allow
other applications access them directly. pasuspender will suspend ac-
cess to the audio devices, fork a child process, and when the child
process terminates, resume access again.
Make sure to include -- in your pasuspender command line before passing
the subprocess command line (as shown above). Otherwise pasuspender it-
self might end up interpreting the command line switches and options
you intended to pass to the subprocess.
