Very few devices in our home are always connected to the power. 
Most notably not the main media centre (tv + set top box + router +
amplifier + RPi (kodi) + chromecast + hdmi switch) and audio center (RPi
(piCoreplayer) + amplifier).

The startup time for the media center (mostly the set top box) is two
minutes but that is not considered a problem. Maybe because it clearly
indicates when it is ready.

Can LMS play an audio signal when the piCoreplayer becomes ready?
