Starting a few weeks back, I changed the definition of "idle" from
"players not busy" to "system not busy".  So if you want to totally
disable the idle monitor in the current beta, you'll need to set the
"Idle network IO threshold" (and on linux & osx the "Idle disk IO
threshold" & "CPU load threshold") all to zero (0) as well as
unchecking "Monitor Idle Squeezebox Players".

What setting do you have for the "Idle network IO threshold"?  If it is
zero, then something's not right and we'll look into this further.  But
if it is some positive number, then the idle monitor is functioning as
designed and you need to set that to 0.

Again, the rationale for this change is the new DLNA plugin in SBS 7.6.
Under that version, we'll soon have players that aren't "players" in
the usual squeezebox sense.  The only way to detect those players is to
monitor network I/O. Currently, SrvrPowerCtrl defaults the net i/o
threshold to 8192.  I picked that number for my own selfish purposes. 
It's high enough so that only streaming video triggers it.  For DLNA
streaming of audio, especially compressed audio like MP3, one would
have to set that number much, much lower to achieve reliable detection.
