For some background, see the discussion at
https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/issues/detail?id=35
I have managed to configure ALSA and squeezelite to not generate exceptionally
high CPU load in these situations. However, there is still CPU load, and it is
measureable.
This is quite undesireable on my laptop, since it has a negative impact on
battery life. Even on desktops, it can translate into a larger power bill.
It would be nice for squeezelite to have an option to stop sending silence
after a certain timeout. 15 seconds, for instance, would be great. It could
then be completely CPU idle when not playing anything.

Please try the new -C option included in the latest git - this will close the
output device after the defined timeout

Is this option documented anywhere? It does not appear in the command line
options on the project home page.
Sadly, this option appeared in version 1.8 (1/2/2015), which still has no
Windows build.
