That would be 0,707 (1/sqrt(2)) voltage output on a resistive load. RMS 
power of a sine wave is 0,5 times peak power.
I like to know maximum constant RMS output, because it tells me a lot about 
the amplifier and its capability. The peak power or "music power usually" 
lacks a definition (I can easily imagine a design that would allow for 
short pulse of higher power, but power supply/amplifier would fry up if it 
was to deliver this peak power for longer time).
I like that FTC definition requiring amplifier to work with high output 
power before taking a measurement, which is watts RMS.
