[Bug 118138] Re: When playing music, amarok doesn't prevent the computer to enter sleep (suspend mode)

[Jackflap]

I've found that a couple of other media players also perform the same
behaviour. It happens with VLC, Songbird and Totem Movie Player (which
is Ubuntu's default movie player, but not Rhythmbox).

Bugs will have to be reported for each media player, however, it seems
unintuitive that Gnome's sleep mechanism doesn't check to see if any
audio is currently playing before hibernating. I realize that when an
app is running it needs to inform gnome that it shouldn't suspend and
let gnome know when it can, however, it seems more intuitive to inform
gnome on occasions that it should suspend while audio is playing and
leave the default as not to suspend when audio is being played.

Suggestions?
