Oh, right. I forgot! ;-)

BTW: Yesterday, I managed to implement hibernate support within Freevo (has to 
be polished) using ivtv (where the kernel module has to be unloaded in order 
to suspend), without leaving Freevo! :-) I can even suspend with the detached 
audio player still running, and it will resume to exactly that situation. :-)
(Total startup time after pressing power button reduced from 57sec. to 33.)

In order to do so, I made the following changes in Freevo:
- closing ivtv file descriptors in order to make unloading ivtv possible
- added suspend/resume hooks to the Lirc class
   (also needed since lirc does not work after resuming otherwise)
- support for issueing the suspend command via IR
   (I am using the the official hibernate-script-1.0 which I configured to
   stop lircd and unload ivtv and lirc_i2c).

I will soon post at least the first two patches, and work on the integration 
of the last one into my modified shutdown.py.  One difficult step ist again 
that nvram-wakeup might need another bootup cycle for proper automatic wakeup 
before the next recording. :-(
(I should just have bought better hardware... ;*) )
