Comment:

 The only advantage of epoll is that it scales better if you have a large
 number of file descriptors. However, in PA we usually have only very few:
 the sound device and a very limited number of clients.  Presumably using
 epoll would actually be a bad thing because it increases the overall
 number of system calls necessary.

 The "lennart" branch in SVN now contains a module "module-supend-on-idle"
 which when loaded makes sure all audio devices are closed when nothing is
 played. This brings the number of interrupts to zero, when idle.
