If you are showing a static screensaver (it doesn't really matter what
it is as long as its not changing) the code is not sending anything to
the frame buffer. 

The processor IS continuously sending data to the LCD display even when
the backlight is turned off. Completely disabling the video subsystem so
it doesn't send anything to the LCD at all is a very different task. It
certainly CAN be done, there are registers in the processor that do
this, but I don't think there is currently any way for the code running
in squeezeplay to do that. It might take a new device driver to
implement that.
