personally, if you're going to use this for recording/making music,
i'd recommend ripping out pulseaudio entirely and installing jack
instead.
those applications will become redundant then.
there are many jack-specific mixer/playback/control applications to
manipulate the sound, and it is far superior to pulseaudio, although
the latter is fine for general use: voip, listening to music, etc.
Is there still a "pasuspender" (Pulse Audio suspender) command to let
you run jack or alsa applications without the PA in the middle?
Jack will automatically request the card from Pulse Audio and release it
when it is done, you don't need to do anything special.
