Just to give you guys an update, I suspect that the xdg-screensaver script is 
actually the source of the problem. This is a common way for media players to 
interact with screensavers, as there is on default/standard that all 
screensavers stick to.
For that I haven't found a cure yet.

Fixing this issue solely in Parole isn't enough and actually not a
desirable solution.

Title:
  Light Locker blanks the screen when playing video

Status in Parole Media Player:
  New
Status in “light-locker” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On XUbuntu, the new Light Locker puts the screen black when playing
  video as if there was no activity.

  That is supposed to happen when the user is away from keyboard but in the 
case of playing a video, no mouse or keyboard activity may be registered for 
two hours and still the screen must remain active.
  This didn't happen with the old screen saver.

  This applies to both and VLC and Parole.
