You totally rule, thank you :)
(by the way, I hope that a player that's active but paused longer than X
seconds can be considered idle, that's my most common use case: I pause a
show, leave, and would like my htpc to suspend to RAM and resume playing
from the same location when I come back)

Thanks,
