Heh. I think we're getting confused by semantics here.

The empeg/Rio car has three modes:

On: Display is on, amp remote line is high, drives spin up as needed to serve music. CPU is fully active. Ethernet is active.

Standby: Display is off, standby light pulses. Amp remote line is low. Drives are spun down. CPU is fully active. Ethernet is active. Unit can be awakened from standby through various means.

Off: Display is off, standby light is off. Amp remote line is low. Drives are spun down and turned off. CPU is off. Ethernet is off.

There is currently no software to wake the empeg up from "Off" mode. However, it could theoretically be programed to wake up at intervals to check for ethernet activity. Such programming does not exist yet.

Hugo was using the term "Sleep" to mean synonymous with "Off". Personally, I use "Sleep" and "Standby" interchangeably, which is a different way of looking at it.
