MediaTransportOverlay and screensaver

Context: playing audio in FullscreenView

I am testing my widget prior to submission and am failing to properly implement/test the screensaver. The FullscreenView initializes the mediaplayer and sets a playlist of 30 audio tracks(no video, however there is an auto-advancing PhotoGrid). 

When the MediaTransportOverlay is in a PLAY state, the fadeTimeout kicks in and the overlay is hidden. If I pause the audio file with the play/pause button on the overlay, the audio stops, however, the overlay will not hide: it remains visible in the PAUSE state. This is true both in my emulator instance as well as on a Vizio M220NV.

In researching this topic, I read in this forum post( http://developer.yahoo.com/forum/Getting-Started-Beginners-Yahoo-/about-the-requirement-Timeout-Gracefully-and/1302656430000-6de588c4-cd69-3d17-a4da-54ac4c69d7bf ) that a UI component could possibly prevent the framework from enabling the screensaver. 

Please advise:
Is it possible that the Overlay can prevent the framework from enabling the screensaver? 
Is it the expected behaviour that the overlay remains visible in the PAUSE state?
How can I conform with the screensaver criteria?

Notes:
 - I have not found a way to adjust the screensaver setting on my Vizio
 - the widget is implementing Framework/kontx/1.3/src/all.js with patch-pre_fw1.3.27-mediaplayer.js


Thank you, I look forward to feedback,
