That's right, however our intended audience won't be probably doing `echo mem

(automatically) suspending provided by their DE.

While I agree that we should have an option to pause playing on resume, I'd be 
strongly against making it the default. The simple reason is that suspending 
should be transparent to applications, i.e. the ultimate reason to suspend (as 
opposed to poweroff) is IMO to preserve the desktop state.

Anmol, unless there are objections, please make it 2 checkboxes:
 * Prevent automatic system sleep when Amarok is playing
 * Pause playing when system goes to sleep

First defaulting to checked, second to unchecked. Also please test whether the 
Sleep button works if the first checkbox is checked and Amarok is playing.
