So this is probably what makes the server bounce from suspend when my friend is around. I checked with him and he had the "preserve connection" option selected. I made him deselect the option. However he told me he likes that firing up iPeng wakes the server.
His server (I did integration and coding) is multi-purpose and runs a power manager. For the Squeezebox part it looks like Gharris999's srvPowerControl in purpose. But it is coded as a system-wide daemon, the vote to keep awake or go to sleep is a compound of the status on many services (nfs, afp, samba, backupPC, TimeMachine, SBS, hardware bits.) When nothing else is active, the server sleeps after a while when players are idle. My friend says he often keeps iPeng running on his iPhone as the foreground app when at home. Licking the screensaver cover art screen, you know. If iPeng sends WOL packets regularly, I guess this accounts for the server bouncing off from suspend when he is at home. I could (via CLI, some well-known udp/tcp...) detect the presence of iPeng and keep the server from suspending to avoid the bounce. Or, *maybe*, iPeng could avoid sending WOL packets when no player is active and connected to the local server (and then just rest on its cache) ? I know I am catering to a niche.
