so, I notice that if I changet he engine from xine to "file", the sound
card isreleased.  So if I could just do this:

dcop amarok player pause
dcop amarok player configEngine file-engine
[suspend]
dcop amarok player configEngine xine-engine
dcop amarok player pause

that would be great.  but this doesn't seem to be available.  am I
wrong?

thanks,

matt
