Good catch!

We should probably simply hardcode /usr/bin/pasuspender. I cannot
imagine any other place on Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Alternative: asumme it's in $PATH and call "which pasuspender"

I agree, but maybe the truth is more complex. It needs newest pulseaudio
to work reliably, right? The one with the recent device reservation
patch.
