This feature appears to have been introduced in version 5.0. I am trying to get it upgraded to a later version but not sure if I can. Either way. isn't this argument about suspending when idle? The primary issue here seems to be that PA thinks it's idle when it shouldn't be. Even if I can upgrade and put this argument in, will the stream be idle? Steve
