Even if the original authors won't accept the usefulness of the suspend feature, please could you consider adding Marko Makela's suspend patch to your Debian package. I found it applied OK manually to 1.3.39-1 despite some offsets. The suspend patch is useful to the point of being essential for us softdevice users. For use as a recording daemon and because it's difficult to start and stop VDR on demand on a headless box, I tend to have it running all the time, and without suspending it uses about 60% of my CPU cycles. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
