I did a quick test with a WIn 10 system and a SB Radio I set up playing R4 live and then put Win10 system to "sleep" via power off menu. Radio eventually stopped and showed red wifi. I then woke up the W10 system via keyboard and Radio showed "Rebuffering 0%", then "rebuffering failed" and

After waking my Win10 64bit PC via LAN, it is hard to get iPlayer to start playing the radio station it was playing when the PC was put to sleep. I find I have to first play a different BBC radio station, then go back to the original one that was playing. A minor inconvenience, but it would be
