Ok ;-)

Is it "pasuspend" or "pasuspender".

Am I just adding the "er" for English language clarity while writing?

Adding to my confusion,  Why is the pavucontrol the same icon as the 
vucontrol applet in Fedora10? Also why is the pavucontrol applet located 
in the Applications/Sound & Video menu when the vucontrol applet is 
accessed from System/Preferences/Hardware? Is this a Gnome/KDE issue or 
a Fedora 10 issue?  I'm upgrading to Fedora 11 now to get libtool-2.x 
working among other things. I hope it has been made less confusing in 11.

I have come to understand that pavucontrol is the best way to control 
the PA system settings but it is not located in the System menu so there 
is a conflict with vucontrol. I believe this affects many users of 
Gnome/Fedora and has added to the general negativity on the web towards PA.
 


Cheers.
