+ * If you run a mixer desk (without anything connected), no calculations
+ * need to be done - since the output is silent anyway. For this reason,
+ * there exists this autosuspend attribute. It allows the flow system
+ * to detect the idle condition, and start suspending the calculations,
+ * until something "important" happens again.
+ *
+ * There are three possible values:
+ *
+ * @li asNoSuspend - this one is appropriate when you have a module that
+ * is active by itself
+ * @li asSuspend - this one is appropriate for modules that "do nothing"
+ * by themselves
+ * @li asSuspendStop - this one is for modules that should be stopped, when
+ * the system gets suspended, and restarted when the
+ * system will start again - an example for this is
+ * soundcard output
+ *
+ * A module should choose asSuspend (or asSuspendStop) only if the
+ * following conditions are true:
+ *
+ * @li given constant inputs (like 3.0 on all ports), the module will
+ * give constant output after some time
+ * @li given only 0.0 inputs, the module will give only 0.0 outputs
+ * after some time
+ * @li the module does not synchronize itself through signal flow (i.e.
+ * a midi sequence which "knows" when a second has passed through
+ * the signal flow breaks when suspension happens)
+ * @li the module can't be brought to do something with a method
+ * invocation (i.e. a module which starts generating noise for
+ * a second whenever the noise() method is called is not suspendable)
+ * @li the module has no internal state that changes over time when only
+ * constant inputs are given
+ *
+ * Typical examples for suspendable modules are arithmetic operations,
+ * filters, delay/hall/reverb.
+ *
+ * Typical examples for non-suspendable modules are sequences, midi stuff,
+ * oscillators, sample players,...
+ *
+ * To deal with modules which either input data from some external source
+ * (i.e. soundcard input) or output data to some external destination,
+ * (i.e. soundcard output) the following flags are available:
+ *
+ * @li asProducer - set this flag for modules which fulfill the conditions
+ * for a suspendable module, but produce non-zero output
+ * even when left alone
+ * @li asConsumer - set this flag for modules which write the data to
+ * some external destination - that is - definitely
+ * require constant input to be suspended
+ *
+ * The suspension algorithm will first divide the graph of modules into
+ * subgraphs of interconnected modules. A subgraph is suspendable if
+ * all of its modules are suspendable and the subgraph does not contain
+ * producer(s) and consumer(s) at the same time.
+ *
+ * Finally, our module graph is suspendable if all its subgraphs are.
