Totem disables screensaver even when playing streaming audio

[Stephen Monteith]

Binary package hint: totem

I'm playing an audio stream from http://www.radioparadise.com 128K AAC stream. The screen saver/screen locking is disabled by Totem. Since there is no video content being played, disabling the screen saver is not needed. If there is an option in the preferences to bypass this, I could not find it.

Thanks for your report, confirmed, note that the screensaver is not activated even if you don't use the "Visual Effects" option, will forward upstream, thanks.

in hardy alpha 6 it now has an option:
"Allow the screensaver to activate even when audio-only is playing"
but this sentence doesnt make any sense. It should instead read:
"Allow the screensaver to activate when audio-only is playing"
The "even" isnt necessary and creates confusion due to the word only appearing later in the sentence, which suggest the screensaver will also now activate when audio+video is playing which is not what it is trying to tell you it will do.

fixed on hardy, thanks for reporting.

I understand this is a old bug, but I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and Totem 2.32.0. When I play audio only and have the option set to "disable screen-saver while playing video only" my screen-saver/monitor sleep mode is still disabled.
