Description of problem: I suspended my rawhide system while rhythmbox/pulseaudio was playing. Audio during suspend was "choppy", that is, it sounded like the "last buffer" was repeated a number of times before the system "went to sleep". I suspect that cannot be helped... When I resumed, all came back perfectly, including rhythmbox/pulseaudio continuing to play right where it left off. This is very impressive. Examining /var/log/messages, I notice the following. Not sure this is a bug/issue, or just INFO type logging, so feel free to close as appropriate.

As stated above, sound appears 100% functional. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.13-7.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Believe so..... Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend while rhythmbox is playing 2. Resume 3. Check log Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
These messages are mostly informational to help debugging the cases were resuming does not work properly. Upstream I have now downgraded the three messages so that they are only shown in verbose/debug mode.
