Maybe my limited English fails to convey what I am trying to express. I
shall try once more.

The old version of SPC without the "not idle" action would have been
completely sufficient if not for one situation: I stop the playback
while my PC is still running. SPC tells LO to hibernate, but LO waits
for me to shut down the PC, first. After some time while the PC is still
running, I decide to listen to some more music, but then I shut down my
PC. LO will wait for the configured timeout and then hibernate the
server while my SB is still playing music. This is what the "not idle"
action fixes. It will tell LO not to hibernate the server once playback
has resumed.

was repeated now and then. Just ignore what I have said. Maybe if you
want to be really thorough, you could repeat it once - just to make
sure.

"not idle" action is performed whenever music is played - no matter what
happened in the past.

Just to make sure: I can live with the current solution. It works fine
for me. It does not do what I would expect at one point, but that does
not seem to be of importance in real life. Please don't get the
impression that I am nagging about your plug-in. It is a great piece of
software which helps me to save energy.

Thanks for your support and your dedication.
