VLC (mac) preventing sleep in stop mode (regression)

VLC preventing sleep in stop mode

VLC Version 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (Intel 64bit) MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) MacBookAir5,2) OS X 10.11.2

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open VLC and play a movie
  2. stop movie
  3. open activity monitor
  4. switch to tab energy
  5. look at column "preventing sleep" for for VLC

expected result: column "preventing sleep" shows "no" as with VLC 2.1.5

actual result: colum "preventing sleep" shows "yes"

QuickTime (mac) does not prevent sleep even when a movie is only paused. While a paused video did prevent sleep in VLC 2.1.5 it would be nice to address this too: #3724 (closed)

Also reproduced with: VLC Version 3.0.0-git Vetinari (Intel 64bit)
