[PATCH] man: unify pactl and pacmd suspend command documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The suspend-sink and suspend-source documentation for pacmd was quite
terse, so I copied the more complete documentation from pactl. I
couldn't resist doing some other minor edits along the way too.
