Recover more or less perfect from sleep, I could wish for a automatic mute or 
similar? before machine goes to sleep. This would prevent the crack sound in 
the speakers when going to sleep.

This would be a much appreciated feature.

Does this have anything to do with the metallic scrambled sound I get whenever 
I try to play a movie of some sort (this happens with OSS emu and ALSA 
output?
Arts just scrambles it all to noice. 
I can also remember half way throught a ogg/mp3 playlist when it also 
scrambled the output, this has only happened ONCE.
