prevent suspend while streaming over samba

Seems this is an open problem -- streaming over Samba apparently doesn't pause the idle timer on Ubuntu (12.10 Unity), so the machine will suspend after the usual 30 minutes despite the fact that I'm streaming something.

I found this solution for Gnome, but nothing for Unity: http://aikar.co/2011/03/03/ubuntu-prevent-sleep-samba/

Any advice?

For what it's worth, Caffeine works if you tell it to active when smbd is running, but smbd doesn't stop or start based on when you're streaming -- it'll make the machine effectively never sleep and the display never turns off.
