Title:
  OpenShot freezes/hangs on startup if jack is running

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I started OpenShot, within a few seconds the window became grey and
  the application would not respond.  I tried a couple of times and then
  realised jack was still running.  I stopped jack and restarted
  OpenShot, the application started again without freezing.

  Looking into this, it turns out that jack suspends PulseAudio whilst
  it is running.  I discovered that this could be reproduced by running
  pasuspender.

  Here is the test:-
  1. Start OpenShot
  2. Run "pasuspender -- xterm"
  3. Wait for up to 30 seconds, the OpenShot window will turn grey
  4. In the xterm window type "exit", OpenShot becomes responsive again

  It is good to see that OpenShot resumes working again when pulseaudio
  is resumed.  If we can find a way of handling the situation the user
  could be notified.
