MC 21 Linux on HDMI audio on Intel NUC DN2820FYKH

I found the cause : Ubuntu was turning the display off after, what it saw as, 5 mins of inactivity. Of course, on the NUC, the display port is HDMI which is also the audio port (unless you're using a USB DAC).
I suppose that's a hazard of using a desktop OS. Once I instructed Ubuntu to leave the display alone, the audio worked and continued working.

In MC's audio settings there is an option called: Disable Display from Turning Off (useful for hdmi audio)
if you turn this on, the display won't go off as long as MC is playing.

Bob is that setting working on Linux now? Last I heard we were in limbo on any system running systemd/logind (which is most distros): https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=99466.0
It hasn't worked on any of my systems when I tested (including a Debian Jessie/Gnome machine), but it's been several months since I tried.
If it's fixed that's great news, I can turn auto-sleep back on on my Linux boxes!

It has nothing to do with system sleep. It just keeps the monitor from sleeping which can be done with a generic call.

The referenced setting didn't work at all for me on Linux last time I tested it (the setting inhibited neither screen turn off, nor system sleep). Which made sense to me at the time because the screen on/off functionality is wrapped up in the power management functions of logind (at least it is on Gnome/Cinnamon).
But you're saying that the setting currently prevents screen turn off on the supported distro (Debian Jessie)? Is there a recommended DE or DEs? I don't have a vanilla debian workstation (other than some pi's) up right now so I can't conveniently test myself. When I last tested on Debian with Gnome the setting had no effect on either the screen or suspend.
