Replaced Detector monitoring switch with audio stream suspend/resume.

In an effort to reduce the processing overhead when transmitting I
have suspended the audio input stream at source instead of the prior
behavior that simply idled skipping received samples.

This is in response to high activity levels, especially with JTAlert
also running, when decode processing rolls over into the next TX
period.

Tests show a reduction in CPU loading from ~5% to ~1.5% in the above
scenario. Hopefully this will reduce the likelyhood of TX audio
glitches when other system activity spikes.
