  <description>
    <p><file>pasuspender</file> 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. <file>pasuspender</file> will
    suspend access to the audio devices, fork a child process, and
    when the child process terminates, resume access again.</p>

    <p>Make sure to include <opt>--</opt> in
    your <file>pasuspender</file> command line before passing the
    subprocess command line (as shown
    above). Otherwise <file>pasuspender</file> itself might end up
    interpreting the command line switches and options you intended to
    pass to the subprocess.</p>
