Is it putting out silent audio bitstream when paused?

Anyways, as I pointed out, DirectX closes the audio stream when paused so therefore there's no problem with suspend.

Bug or unexpected undesirable behavior, take your pick..

I don't think this is a bug, especially as it works when you've stopped playback.

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] ASUS Xonar D1 Audio Device (PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_8788&SUBSYS_834F1043&REV_00\5&d93df5b&0&0800E6)
An audio stream is currently in use.

AWAYMODE:
None.

At least on my rig it does.

Setup: Win7 x64, Xonar D1, Monkey 4.03.1476

While WASAPI is playing, computer won't go to sleep/suspend. This is reasonable behavior. However, when you PAUSE a song, computer still won't go to sleep. If you stop the playback, then sleep is available. Problem doesn't appear with DirectX output. At least not in the easily repeatable fashion it does with WASAPI.

It's easy to run into this (at least for me) as the keyboard does not have "stop" button, just play/pause button. Then you get an inflated electric bill..

Technically speaking:

DISPLAY:
None.
