It would have been helpful (to me, at least) if you had quoted Dan, which I= am
now doing:

It can be a security issue, but it can also be desired
behavior. I have an old laptop in my living room which has the
sole purpose of being connected to my stereo to play music. I
would be rather upset if it were to pause whenever the
screensaver kicks in.

So I would class this as a desirable configurable element.

+1

Insofar as it is apparently not a configurable element, I would consider it= a
security issue at least, and would (if I were the OP) file a bug or an RFP = (if
that is the right acronym (Request For <darn>)

I also often play Class= ical Music (i.e.=C2=A0 Symphonies and Operas), and also prefer to "sta= rt it" interactively (I use the Command Line "play" Command,= found in the sox Package), but then let it fill my alarm, while the Power = Save actions (Display to Sleep, and system Locked, in case I have visitors)= .=C2=A0 And then, when the Piece ends, I unlock the Display and, perhaps pl= ay something else.=C2=A0

So this *has* to be Configurable.=C2=A0
