Is there still a "pasuspender" (Pulse Audio suspender) command to let
you run jack or alsa applications without the PA in the middle?

At home, I think I'm running Debian Squeeze with both PA and jack, and
each works fine.  Jack will take over in place of PA, when I want it
to, without using the pasuspender command.
