Should pause music on lock screen

[Corey Burger]

G-s should do some d-bus foo to tell music players to pause when the screen gets locked, and then restart it when the screen is unlocked.

hm, some people would like to hear music, even if the computer isn't used - at least that's true for me - dunno how to handle this request. you might want to talk to the upstream authors about this.

Hmm, what about adding a gui option "Pause movie/music playback on activation"?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

This discussion should be taken upstream.

I'm setting this bug to invalid due to inactivity and I think this feature wouldn't be very useful and it would be very hard to implement. How would the screensaver know about all the media players? Try to post this idea on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ .

Just had to be patient ;)
