I think too, that pause is an idle mode for srvPowerControl. It can also sling the players to SN before sleeping the server, so you can hit the remote and listen to radio and not wake-up the server.
The way your machine wakes up is up to you (BIOS settings). The normal choice is wake on WOL packets. Other options, such a wake on broadcasts/any network activity are just too sensitive on a Lan. I believe Intel-based boards, desktop class, are better if you want to rely heavily on ACPI. The add-on cards may also be responsible for a system hanging at sleep or wake, btw. You could also look for a totally embedded platform, running 24/7 and drawing less power than a conventional mobo in sleep mode. CPU and Ram will probably be a bit short, but given the directions taken for SC 8 (arm port, "no-gui") I think this could be a good solution, unless you need to drive TBs of storage. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66641 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
