Resolves: musescore/MuseScore#34594

  • By default, CoreAudio prevents the Mac from sleeping when the driver is opened. Opt out from this behaviour, except when playback is actually running.
    • Off-stream events (note input) don't count as live playback and thus don't prevent sleep; that's actually fine, because those are always the result of user input events, which prevent the system from sleeping anyway.
  • Now that CoreAudio does not prevent sleep anymore, the system could go to sleep while (audio) export is ongoing, which is probably not desirable. Add an IdleSleepBlocker RAII utility that allows preventing that; that will be used by AbstractAudioWriter in the MuseScore repo in a future PR.

These changes were generated by Claude Code; I've checked that the macOS parts look plausible and indeed work (you can check in Activity Monitor > Energy, as shown in the issue description). Not sure about the Linux and Windows parts.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@cbjeukendrup, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 11 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds live-playback state tracking across Player, AudioDriverController, and audio driver interfaces. macOS audio drivers use this state to control a new CoreAudio idle-sleep policy, including policy restoration after CoreAudio restarts. The framework also adds a cross-platform RAII IdleSleepBlocker with macOS, Windows, Linux, and stub implementations. Build configuration and audio controller stubs include the new interfaces and implementations.

The audio driver is opened at startup and kept open for the whole
session. On macOS, the system is prevented from going to idle sleep for
as long as a process has audio IO running, regardless of whether that IO
is audible, so this kept the Mac awake permanently.

Tell the driver whether live playback is ongoing, and let the macOS
drivers use that to allow idle sleep while nothing is being played.

Prevents the system from going to idle sleep while it exists, so that
long running tasks that are neither audible nor interactive don't get
suspended halfway through.

Implemented with IOPMAssertion on macOS, PowerRequest on Windows and a
login1 idle inhibitor on Linux; other platforms get a stub.
