Trouble with software suspend

[Jeff Mitchell]

Andrea--

I believe that when Amarok is open, the engine that it loads has your sound 
card open all the time, even if it's not currently playing a file (other 
players and applications do this, so I would imagine Xine under Amarok 
behaves the same way).  Can you modify your hibernate script to shut down 
Amarok before attempting to remove the module?
