Even if the original authors won't accept the usefulness of the suspend feature, please could you consider adding Marko Makela's suspend patch to your Debian package. I found it applied OK manually to 1.3.39-1 despite some offsets.
The suspend patch is useful to the point of being essential for us softdevice users. For use as a recording daemon and because it's difficult to start and stop VDR on demand on a headless box, I tend to have it running all the time, and without suspending it uses about 60% of my CPU cycles.

Applied, but I'm currently waiting on the next vdr-xine release (assuming that there's not much delaying it now) before I upload 1.3.40.

Thanks. No rush; I'll probably stick with this version for a while. Things (especially VDR-related) have a habit of breaking when I upgrade. The best time is probably just before a new release is due (which I seem to have achieved by accident), so that the plugins have had a chance to catch up.
