The answer must lie in the code that handles
sysctl machdep.lidaction

Well, you can manualy trigger it by manualy closing the lid :-)

I can't replicate that (and T don't see how it relates to the lid at all).
Doing xset dpms force off does not stop any audio-playing application
(and I don't see how it would).

A naive grep of dev/acpi suggests it is the acpi _LID method
(not that I know anything about it).
