Hi all. By default module-suspend-on-idle is loaded to "Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long", but it has been causing problem to digital sinks (and probably sources as well). For example, if you have used pulse with any HDMI/DP/SPDIF sound devices, you would probably experience delays of output at the begining of the playback (unless you were already playing something through the same sink not too long ago). And if you pause the playback, and resume it after some time, the delays also come. But for analog output, this problem does not seem to exist. I am not sure if this module really means much on, for example, power saving, or other purposes that I didn't even think of, but probably it exists for a reason (and there must be people who find it essential anyway). So I would like to suggest spliting the modules into two, one for analog and one for digital, so that users can "fine tune" this "suspend-on-idle" behaviour. And of course, if it's feasible to have an option in certain config file instead, that would probably be a better way (like, suspend-on-idle=analog/digital/both).
