Comment (by stuartm):

 One of the issues with addressing this for UPnP is that clients can and do
 buffer much of the file they are streaming, especially with music this can
 be the whole. This may mean the backend has no way of knowing that the
 client is still in playback and that it needs to stay awake.

 Secondly, we should include use of the other http interfaces - WebFrontend
 and services API as activities that block shutdown or which reset the back
 idle timer. However how do we distinguish between user driven activity and
 automatic polling by a client application.

 I don't have answers to these questions yet.
