This PR fixes the issue where the Equaliser app prevents macOS from sleeping.
It does this by monitoring the meters for complete silence. If silence is detected for 5 seconds, it pauses the CoreAudio output graph, which releases the
PreventUserIdleSystemSleeppower assertion.While paused, it relies on a lightweight polling mechanism to read the lock-free
writeIndexdirectly from the shared memory buffer. If the index advances and contains actual audio samples (>-80dB), it instantly resumes the audio graph.This solution completely resolves the sleep issue without requiring any modifications to the C driver.
I did it for myself and decide to share. Have a good one.
